I have a problem with a TV Tuner and Media Center. (My specs are detailed in my profile.)
I have an Asus My Cinema PE9400 Combo card that has both analog and HD hardware encoders. OTA HD works great through Media Center, but analog has a terrible picture and stutters quite badly. This even happens when I record (without watching) and playback later. As a result of my troubleshooting, I have found that the issue isn't the card, but Media Center itself.
I installed TotalMedia (provided with the Asus tuner card) and all forms of broadcast work great. HD OTA, Analog OTA and DirecTV s-video input all have a flawless picture and no stuttering.
Is there anyone that can help? I like Media Center and would like to continue using it, but the stuttering is just not worth it. Are there any utilities I can run to find out where the conflict is? Why does MC have the problem, but not other apps?
I've gone as far as I can and need an expert's help.
Thanks in advance!
