I really don't know where to begin with this annoying problem. I have a HDHR (MBE) and Air2PC (SBE) setup. When watching LiveTV on the MBE off the Air2PC via HDTV the feed is unwatchable, stuttering every second with no end in sight. When I watch LiveTV off the Air2PC on the SBE via TV the picture is perfect. When I watch a recording off the Air2PC, no problem anywhere. When I watch the HDHR Live/Recorded no problem.

Hardware is SBE Asus M2NPV-VM running R5F1, MBE ASUS P1-AH2 R5F27. I have played with deints and all, but I've got a perfect picture minus using A2PC for livetv. It wouldn't be a problem except that the Air2PC is now the first card used for LiveTV, even though it's the last card setup with the lowest priority.

What kind of processor and network usage are you getting on the SBE when trying to watch live HD? I tried this once using a SBE (Celeron 600 with Air2PC 0.2) I couldn't watch HD on the box, but could record it just fine. Then I was able to watch it on my MBE/FE box (Athlon XP 3200+ with 6600GT). Recordings only though, for some reason I couldn't watch live. I could watch 720 channels live on the FE (they skipped every now and then), but 1080 channels were unwatchable. I did notice that the processor usage on the SBE was pegged at 100% and the ram (256mb) was also maxed out when trying to stream from that box.

I never solved this problem, but just took out the card. It might be a problem with the card. Through-put was not a problem and neither was CPU. I'll play around with the card in another box to see if I can pinpoint, but I won't have the time for a while...

I also have two 0.2 cards. Both cards were connected to a Terk HDTVi antenna using a splitter and one of the cards used to get a better lock than the other. I never bothered to track it down because the motherboard in that system failed and I haven't rebuilt yet.

It's been horrible having to use the cable company issued box (it locks up all the time). Luckily my wife has approved the purchase/build of a new setup when we move to our new house.
