Very slow remote

[kloper]

Hey.

I've been comparing remote speed on the MVP with regular software and GB-PVR's software. The problem I am having is that with GB-PVR remote control is very slow and makes the entire MVP unusable. I havent seen too many threads about this, so I am assuming that this isn't a common problem. I realize that there is a lot of thigns going on in the background to respond to a remote action, but how is it that nobody else minds?

In the main menu, it takes about 1 second to respond to a button being pressed. This can be difficult to manage with, especially when having 5 entries you need to get through.

When watching something, however, things get a lot slower. For example, when bringing up the small guide, it takes about 5-6 seconds to be able to move down on the list. Does it take this long for everyone?

My comp specs are: ASUS A8V Deluxe, 100mbit wired network with Netgear WGR614, 2GB Low Latency RAM, AMD64 3500+, ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum and a PVR-350.

Any ideas? Is this delay?

Thanks a lot!

On my setup, it typically takes about half a second to respond to key presses in the menus etc. This is pretty much normal, and I dont really expect it to get any faster.

On my machine, this is just a little slower that the original Hauppauge software. This is probably because of the more complex screens generated by GB-PVR, and the overhead of using .net

The MVP behaves very badly when displaying video and OSD graphics. The MVP just doesnt have enought grunt for this task. The best thing to do is make sure your have the minimal OSD option enabled (which was created for precisely this), and only use the OSD when you absolutely have to.
