> ><br>><br>> You should really start up the Mythbuntu control center on your system and switch to the currently supported fixes/0.26 branch instead. The CPU utilization numbers you're seeing are much higher than anything I've seen recently on any DVB-T based system, so it's not unlikely that you're hitting some bug which is already fixed in fixes/0.26.<br>

<div>Gave 0.26 a whirl last night and after fighting a number of issues which were a pain (mysql timezone issue, mythweb broken, mythtv-database upgrade failed, password issue in config.xml), I have 0.26 running. Unfortunately that also seems to have mostly broken the PiP which had previously worked fairly well in 0.25 with VDPAU :( . Just when I needed it for Tour de France and the Ashes...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, with 2 HD recordings that I had running CPU usage dropped from what would normally be around 130%-140%-150% to around 90%. Still fairly high in my opinion but definitely improved noticeably.</div>

<div>EPG comes from a scraper. EIT is off on all tuners and also even on the channels themselves and I've never used it here since it's (well was) a bit rubbish.</div></div>
