Hey guys,

We have a headless pc in the spare room running mediaportal tvserver, plex and acting as a file server. the house has been wired using cat6a network cable so all pc's including the new PI are using gige networking. about 3 months ago on the i5 htpc in the lounge we ditched media portal and are now using openelec, which has been great.

Today i went out and got one of the new V2 RPI’s for our bedroom. I upgraded the firmware and installed openelec. When i try to play live tv it plays for maybe 8 seconds and pauses for 15-20 rinse and repeat.

I have been through the settings and set everything up correctly as far as i can tell. I tried disabling deinterlacing thinking it was a processing issue, Overclocking the RPI, and then i read online that maybe the theme i was using was too resource intensive for the PI so i did a hard reset of the PI and tried again without luck. Messing around it is worse with higher bitrate content.

Can anyone please help?
