I run my NPVR setup on a small atom powered HP T5740 thin client and for years it has worked great. Up until this week I have run it off of a full sized mini pcie avermedia tuner card sitting sort of half way into a half height slot. You had to position it just right but it would work fine and all of my analog channels came in fine and my HD ATSC channels worked fine as well. Well I got a expansion module this week that allows me to put a full size PCI/PCIE card into the little thin client so I decided to swap out my old avermedia mini pcie card to a ATI TV Wonder HD 650 PCI card. I swapped everything over and installed the ATI drivers and NPVR saw the card with the ATSC/QAM/Analog tuners just fine. I then selected the tuners and told it to copy the channel configs from the old avermedia card and that worked just fine as well. Now here is where my problem lies. I can tune all of the analog channels just fine but they come up on the screen very shaky from the top to the bottom and the picture itself seems to be lower on the screen with the bottom ticket on channels like cnn cut in half and a white line of nothing at the top of the screen. The audio is even sort of distorted to by in sync with the shaking. I tried every video renderer and decoder combination there is but nothing changes. I think the little thin client does render stuff video software because NPVR doesn't think the hardware is strong enough to do it even though I can play 1080p files just fine in Kodi with the stock Intel GL40 graphics. I was really hoping a full sized pci card would be better but it looks like it might be worse than my little mini pcie avermedia card? I will attach a log file and any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.
