<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am running Mythtv version 0.20.20060828-3 on a P4 2.0Ghz
with 768 of RAM with a Hauppauge PVR-350 (with hardware decoding on) and Xv.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When watching recorded video, or delayed Live TV (ie. after rewinding
Live TV or pausing for a minute), the video skips (ie. delays briefly) roughly
once per second like clockwork. Audio is not affected, and CPU usage is very
low (typically <5% total).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have researched this issue significantly, tried adjusting
the video resolution, bitrate, cranking up the IVTV buffers, etc. and
absolutely nothing has improved (or worsened, for that matter) the issue
whatsoever, so I can’t help but feeling that I’m way off base. :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Watching Live TV not delayed (ie. “real” Live
TV), is extremely choppy to the point of being unwatchable, with video and
audio pausing completely every few seconds, although I assume that this is a
different issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, the audio when watching recorded or Live TV is often
slightly high-pitched, although, again, I assume that this is a different
issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was told that a Myth box is a viable alternative to
appliance PVRs, although my experience to-date is, needless to say, beginning
to convince me otherwise. :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance for your help!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
