Hello, My setup is as follows: - VDR machine is a Via EN 1500. This machine has a 1.5 GHz processor and 512 Mb ram. In it is a FF technotrend card. This machien has no harddisk and boots over the network from: - Server: Dell With dual core processor, and SATA disks. Network is Gigabit Ethernet, for file sharing I use NFS. - On the VDR machine I compiled a VDR 1.4.4 from source, with the "remote" plugin, so I could us the remote sensor that came with the card. Experiences so far: - Watching FTA channels goes extremely well. Diseqc (I have a Technisat Multytenne) works. Quality of the DVB card output is very good. - Chaning channels is fast. - Navigating the menu is slow. For some reason there is a big enough delay between me pressing a button on the remote and the selected menu entry changing. As a result I often end "overshooting" what I intend to select. Is there a way to improve this? - Pausing live TV is not very good. It takes VDR several seconds before it starts recording. Afterwards play back sometimes skips, and sound and image lose synchroisation. If I try to watch recorded shows playback is also sometimes halts or skips. What can I do about this? Any ideas on how to improve performance? How can I get playback and live tv pausig to be smooth? Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b. Bern, Switzerland
