Re: Slow TV display with MCE 2005 & Pinnacle 310i

Here is the answer of my problem as noone is knowing how to solve it.

The problem was the onboard video card (GeForce 6150) which is sharing
memory with the system.
Adding a new video card (GeForce 6600GT 256 Mo), and disabling the onboard
video card has solved the problem.

Hope this can help some others here.

Good luck
Franck.

Hi,
I've a Mediacenter equipped with the following :
ASUS A8N-VM (Geforce 6150 integrated)
AMD 64 3800+
3x512Mb memory
SATA Disk drive 250 Gb
Terratec Aureon 7.1 PCI
IDE DVD+-RW Recorder

MCE 2005 is installed with all the available updates from MS Windows
update.
MCE 2005 patch from Pinnacle is installed.
Nvidia Purevideo decoder is installed.
Pinnacle MediaCenter is installed.

Here are the symptoms :
- When Pinnacle Mediacenter is running all is perfect : DVD, TV Analog and
Digital, Radio, etc...
- When I use Mediacenter : DVD has some freezing (but still acceptable),
TV
display is awful, it freezes for a second every 2 seconds of programs...
sometimes the sound freezes for a second too.

I tried different settings with Nvidia PureVideo tools within MCE 2005 but
without success.

Someone has an idea ?
Thanks for your help.
Franck.
