Media Centre and Aero

[SteveW]

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

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
