Media Centre and Aero
Hi,
I have just installed a Terratec Cinergy Hybrid USB TV stick. Which works wonderfully in Media Centre if I turn Aero off if not it breaks up continuously. I am amazed I have just bought a new PC running Vista Home Premium the machine scores: 5.2, 5.9 for graphics. Processor: AMD Dual Core 5200+ Graphics card: Geforce 8800 GTX. What specs do you have to have to run a TV and Aero I have a humble Apple mini that runs TV along with anything else you want to throw at it without missing a beat. Is there anything I can check.? TIA |

TIA What type of Hard Drives are you using? PATA, SATA, or SCSI ? I ask this because I see the same thing here using PATA 133 drives. The TV will actually come to a halt if I am copying large amounts of data from one drive to another. |

(Sorry I meant to reply to the group) I have two 320 Gig SCSI 7200rpm drives. and 2Gig Ram When the TV is running the performance monitor shows the processors have plenty of spare capacity |
