Hey guys
i would like to say thanks in advance for any assitance you can give me on this.
i have a core 2 dual with 2GB mem and 2 PVR 150 MCE capture cards.
i am running a clean XP with only GBPVR installed.
i can record 2 shows at once and play 2 shows at once.
i can record and watch a HD movie without any high CPU or memory usage
but most of the time i watch live tv (analog only - antenna cable directly to the pvr 150), the audio and video are synced but after 2 minutes there is a growing delay. i then go back to the guide and watch again. it started ok and then the delay keeps growing and growing.
it happenes if i press "play" on the remote/enter the menu and select "watch". or move between the channels during live tv.
the only way i can watch live tv is to record the show and then wait a few seconds and start to watch the recording. then it is all ok.
i tried it with only one PVR card ( no change).
i tried it on a clean XP install ( no change).
i removed all the decoders and installed only ffdshow. (no change).
this happens most of the time on the same channels but that may be only an illusion.
i am pretty sure this has nothing to do with CPU, memory, hard disk speed or decoders as i have a friend with a more powerful setup and he use the RCA connector ( or S-video - tried them both) - and he has the same problem.
can anyone help or stir me in the right direction?
i am using the analog recording plugin and tried all the "quality profile settings" but still no dice
