Post subject:  HDTV records and plays fine but live Tv stutters

I just installed knoppmyth R5F1 today and my recorded HD shows play fine. When I go to watch live tv it stutters. Is there a setting to reduce the stuttering on live tv. I am currently doing HD on comcast.

Here are the specs of my box:

Athlon 64 3200
1 gig pc2100 ram
80 GB 7200 rpm drive (OS)
320 GB 7200 rpm drive (/myth)
Geforce 6200 video card
2 x HD5000
2 x PVR-150

You have almost the same setup as one of my frontends (AMD 3200+, 1Gb RAM, GF6200). My "magic wand" is to use Option "UseEvents" "True" in XF86Config-4 on my R5D1 frontends, but with R5F1 you would need that in your xorg.conf. A snippet from my config:
Code:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Videocard0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    Option "UseEvents" "True"

I believe you can place the UseEvents directive into either the "Device" or "Screen" section and have it work. I still experience some stuttering when the OSD is up, but other than that HDTV playback is smooth. I'm using the Dvico Fusion HDTV Lite card in my backend (separate machine).

I will give that a try when I get home tonight.
