The problem that I am having with my Myth TV system is that the video freezes and releases quickly. The only thing that I can compare it to is a CD that is slightly skipping once every 5-10 seconds. In this case both the audio and video skip at the same time. The weird thing is that it happens whether you are watching live tv, recorded tv, or even a DVD.

I'm using KnoppMyth R5D1. I tried R5E50 but my sound didn't work so I formatted and installed R5D1 instead.

My System specs are listed below: I realize that they aren't great (I'm a poor college student and I picked this machine up at an auction for $10.) However, I think they should be good enough to watch a DVD and record tv.

It is essentially this system with a few additions: http://support.gateway.com/support/srt/docs.asp?sn=0023739017
