<div dir="ltr">And there is an awful lot of noise on the driver side, totally agree with you there, hopefully we can fully use the HVR-4000 once the dust settles. Sometimes I really wish I had kept up my programming skills that stopped with Z80 / 6502 machine code...<br>
<br>I have an Athlon x2 6400 and and when viewing the BBC HD stream I'm looking at about 65% total CPU usage when running latest trunk, previous builds had the CPU pegged at 100% with frame drops so I had to record shows and watch them later with mplayer.<br>
<br>If anyone is interested in my (over the top I grant you) MythTV setup then here are the specs: Athlon 64 x2 6400 (Black edition), Asus M2NPV-VM mobo, 3gig RAM, 2 x Samsung 1TB drives, Asus 8500 GT Silent, Nebula DVB-T card, HVR-4000 card all wrapped up in an Antec Fusion case. OS is PCLinuxOS, I started with Debian but that was way too much pain, then Fedora 7 and 8 but could not get everything working together reliably, same with Ubuntu so finaly ended up with PCLinuxOS with no pain and everything working rock solid.<br>

</div>The HD channels from both providers are DVB-S2.<br>
<br>
I have two HVR-4000 cards that have worked very well for about seven months<br>
with DVB-S only. I have not tried DVB-S2 yet because of all the noise<br>
related to drivers, and that I will need a faster CPU in order to handle<br>
the H.264 streams for the HD channels.<br>
