When Watching Live and Recorded TV I get freezing, pixilation and stuttering I have updated everything. I am currently running Intervideo WinDVD7 as my decoder with the Hauppauge WinTV update. I have tried Nvidia’s decoder and nero 7’s decoder all to no avail. Could the one big hard drive be the problem? Would using a NAS box be better? Is my Router the problem? I am using 2 Xbox 360’s through a Linksys BEFSR41 to watch TV.

My video does the same when I'm recording two stations at the same time, while watching another recorded show through another system. Killing one of the recordings clears it up somewhat. It doesn't happen if I watching a recording on my second drive. This would be similar to the overhead as you would get with a raid 5 if you were recording and watching at the same time to the same disk drive (or a program accessing it too). Are you running a mix?

Video could stutter when the buffers are flushing to the drives while you are also trying to read. Because of the delay in playing, I believe the software writes and reads back the recorded video-I get a 1 second delay from realtime display VS a TV directly on a cable...
