I had to have to distribute the IO better in order to handle it. I have 3 mounted TB drives (7200RPM) that I use for recordings only.<br>
My Backend also has a Q6600 with 2GB of RAM. It could handle 4 HD Homerun recodings plus the HDPVR, but any recording playback off my backend would cause #2 to happen (This is purely an IO issue). <br><br>Dave<br><br clear="all">
