Re: Will a TV tuner play live TV on an onboard video PC?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The nvidia 6100 does not support HD video acceleration, coupled with the use of a 2.2 GHz. cpu explains the inability to properly process a HD stream. The easiest and least expensive way to overcome this would be to upgrade to a video card that supports HDVA. My experience with a motherboard with onboard nVidia 6150 which does supports HDVA was that 720p was the max output resolution it would support before it displayed the same results you are experiencing

Hi,
I've an incident open with Avermedia regarding the M780
combo card. When I install the latest drivers and Avers
Media Center application, the analog input channels
(from my Time Warner cable feed) play back just fine.

However, when I play something from the digital tuner,
(ATSC from the rooftop antenna)
it sometimes plays OK for a few seconds, but eventually
(and sometimes it happens right after I change channels)
it freezes, and if I wait too long ( before, for example, quickly
switching back to analog, or otherwise stopping the MC
display) the whole application has frozen and I have to use
task manager to clear it out. These digitals channels, are either
480i, 720p or 1080i. I haven't seen any pattern in whether
certain channels cause the problem.

Avermedia are trying to lay the blame on the fact that I have
onboard video, which uses up to 256 MB shared memory.

I'm new to tuners so I am unable to evaluate their position.
Could that be the problem? I have 2GB's of Ram, and an
AmD 64 X2 dual core @ 2.2 GHz using XP SP3
This is my motherboard -
