Slow live TV with PVR 150

[rcrockett]

Whew! Finally a combination of username and password worked. There is a major bug with the login system for these forums.

Anyway, this program is great for recording, but I am using an Hauppauge PVR 150 MCE and the Live TV performance is horrible. It takes good 30 seconds to load the first time and then about 5 seconds to change channels. Is there any fix for this?

Due to the turner time to change channels, buffer cashe filling and then display of the picture it can take some time. For the short term you can try to use the SBE option in the config program, it does not work for everyone, but this will process the video stream directly from the PVR-150 and bypass some steps.
I think Sub said he as reworking this part so it may be faster in the next release.

Plus the fact that the 150 isn't fully supported in the current release (since the 150 is rather new). There should be improved support for it in the next release (although it may not be perfect considering that it will be the first release to officially support the 150 and as such, may still have some bugs to work out).

Using the SBE option doesn't work for me.

But thanks anyway guys.
