Re: Live TV Jumpy with HDTV Tuner Capture Card

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Well thanks. I thought all along that it would help to install a 6600 GT
card to improve the choppiness but didn't like the fan noise it would bring.
I just went on the web and can see that the X1300Pro also has a big o' fan
on it too. Aren't there any other cards without these loud fans? Kind of
takes away the whole experience. Thierry

I believe your problem is different and is that the X300 does not have the
GPU power or memory banwidth to process HDTV especially 1080i programs
without dropping frames on a regular basis.
If you get an new card I recommend a 128 MB Nvidia 6600GT or better or a
ATI X1300 PRO (not the standard X1300) or better which not only will
resolve your jumpiness but will also provide picture PQ since these cards
also have better de-interlacing motion compensation support.

I have the same problem. I think it may be due to my graphics card ATI
(X300se) that came with the PC. I'm using an Avermedia A180 HDTV card but
have no more room for any other card. Was thinking about replacing the
X300 with one on the Windows Partner list but I also noticed on some live
viewing of HD that the sound also drops out and is sometimes out of synch.
The picture is not very smooth. How would I find out how the CPU utilizes
the playing of HD TV and whether or not the HD card is sharing an IRQ with
another device?

What is the CPU utilization while watching live HD TV? Is the HD card
sharing its IRQ with any other device? Try changing the slot that the HD
card is in

It happens on the PC Monitor and on the XBOX 360. The connection is
wired.

How are your system and XBOX connected to your router wired or
wireless.

I recently purchased a MCE PC to get over the air HD channels to my
XBOX
360.
My PC is an HP m7360n (Dual Core 2.8 GHz, 2gb DDR SDRAM). I
installed the
KWorld ATSC-110 HDTV Tuner Card to enable HD reception. I also
installed
all
needed windows updates including the MCE rollup. I get a nice high
definition picture, but the Live TV video is very, very jumpy.
However,
when
I am recording Live TV or watching previously recorded programs the
video
is
great. Any ideas about what may be causing this problem?
