Hi Folks,
I am hoping someone here might be able to help me... apologies in advance for any spelling errors also as my hands are freezing !!
Anyway my problem is as follows: I have been trying to get TV on my computer for sometime now but without success. I purchased a Hauppauge WinTV PCI Tuner for my PC which can digital and analogue channels. I have installed the hardware no problems whatsoever including all software required etc .. and all is going geat so far !
Next I get to the stage whereby I start the sofware and its does an initial scan for channels, again this all goes great ! So .. now it has found all the channels.. so I sit back, relax and switch to one of the channels.. and here is where my problems start
The picutre is extremely choppy and "lags" although audio for the mostpart is ok. Initially I thought it may have been the strenght of the signal from the aerial however I have checked this and it is totally fine and even got an amplified aerial also but absolutely no difference with this. Direct X is also up to date.
I have tried going into my display settings and adjusting the " Write Combining " and also the " Hardware Acceleration " but again .... without any joy whatsoever. Also changing screen resoution etc does not seem to make any difference what soever.
I have also tried a second USB " Artec " TV Tuner and get the exact same results as with the PCI tuner.
Can any offer any suggestions as to what I can try to help solve this, as its really doing my head in now
As for my PC......
Its an Advent T9002 with
512 MB Ram,
Windows XP,
AMD Athlon 64 3400 +,
Integrated Mirage 2 Graphic Engine
Hopefully somebody might be able to help me out, have found this site excellent before !
Many thanks and a Happy New Year
Paddy
