You still have the IO functions of the hard drives even when playing ou the Hardware decoder and watching live TV seems to generate some sort of "CPU load" that I don't understand because I'm not a programmer. THe On Screen Display overlay uses some CPU. But what else uses the CPU who knows....plus you need a drive that can read and write at the same time a constant 5MB/S. Drive hiccups can cause some big problems too...
