New to gbpvr and have a question about performance.
Here is what I have,
ATI TVWonder HD650 - This is working very well.
NVidia 7600 GT video card (PCI Express).
AMD Athalon x64 dual core 4200+ processor
SATA drives for both OS and the PVR buffers.
I am using pvrx2.
Video Decoder - ATI MPEG Video Decoder
Video Renderer - VMR9 Custom
I have been able to record a standard def channel while watching a previous recording of a standard def channel with no jitter or skipping. My trouble starts with HD channels. If I record a hd program I can not play it while recording another one.
While recording a standard def channel my cpu usage is about 2% for the gbpvr service. While watching a standard def recording and recording another standard def feed it is about the same with total system usage at about 18%.
I can record HD with no trouble. What should I do about the replay performance? Is there a better video card choice or decoder choice?
I really want this to work so I can give the cable company the boot....
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Brian
