Hi all,

Looking for a little bit of help with stuttering video in Windows Media Center on a Windows 7 64 bit system. I'm using a PCTV 73e USB dongle with the small antennae attached to it.

I can play the "Freeview | HD" channel fine but all of the other video channels have really bad video stuttering issues. What often seems to happen is that the first frame of the video is repeatedly inserted into the playing video a couple of times a second. Also, all of the rest of the video looks like it's playing the frames out of order, like field-reversal however maybe worse?

If I scan through a video I have recorded or is being played then it looks like each frame has been cleanly recorded. I have occasional problems with missing info in frames from a loss of data through bad reception but most of the time the video plays fine on the Freeview | HD channel and on previous installs of my computer I have had things working perfectly over all channels with only occasional signal issues.

The last bit of info I have at the moment is if I swap between two of the stuttering video channels then one of the frames from the previous channel is held over and is repeatedly inserted into the new channel a couple of times a second.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Thanks for all help.

Patrick
