On Hauppauge 2250 dual card I get 15-20 second delay on LiveTV channel change. If I hit another remote button while changing NPVR hangs up for a long
time and sometimes just stops cold (windows message about app not responding).
Applied all the patches in 2.2.6.
I was wondering about the decoders as well. Is there a prefered set, this card is supposed to have on-board hardware decoders but I don't see them
in the list. I've tried Microsoft and some others but no difference.
asside - bulk change in channel setup doesn't work on my machine, so I'm still getting the EPG and channel name setup done one at a time....
Ideas??

Decoder performance can vary from machine to machine. I personally use lav audio decoder for all audio and Cyberlink video decoders.
Your 2250 has an onboard hardware encoder (not decoder) for digitizing analog channels. For digital channels, no encoding is necessary since the stream is already MPEG encoded.
