seenit: Heya,
It's not possible it's a satellite/signal issue is it? My Sky decoder plays everything fine but my tuner cards don't get a high enough quality signal on some transponders which makes them channels pixelate/stutter/unwatchable and shows up in the logs as discontnuity errors. That could explain why one HD channel works but the others don't. Most likely not the issue in this case but it's worth questioning
Benoire: Hi Seenit,
So do you have sky hd running through your htpc? If so would you mind detailing the full spec for comparison?
I'm considering a new gpu and i am curious as to whether a newer ati would perform ok or if i should purchase an nvidia card.
huckster: My 8500GT bit the dust last night in my play PC where I test HTPC software before upgrading the family one.
So off to Google. Seems the GT430 or GT520 are good HTPC Nvidia graphics chips. Off trying to find a nice single-slot, silent version..... Asus GeForce ENGT430 DC Silent/DI/1GD3 perhaps?
Will try re-seating the 8500GT again in the meantime.
Note that my main, day-to-day HTPC uses an onboard ATI 3200 chipset which, apart from the initial setup causing me to pull what little hair I have out, has been perfect for a couple of years, now.
Any comments on GT430 / GT520...?
