TV Tuner w/Vista

[mattg08]

I recently bought a KWORLD TV Tuner card for my computer. It's a custom PC,
Athlon64 2.02ghz with 2gb of ddr memory. I put (2) 300gb hard drives in and
now I am having this issue. While I am watching tv on my computer, every
now and then the video will pause but the sound keeps going and the video
has to catch up. During this time, it sounds as if one of the hard drives
is revving up. Here's how I have my hard drives partitioned...is it because
of this that it's acting so wierdly?

1st 300GB Drive
C: Drive 50GB
D: Drive 250GB (TV Recordings are saved here)
2nd 300GB Drive
E: Drive 300GB

Hi,

Recordings may be on D:, but it may still be using a temp folder on C: while
streaming. Check the software settings for one that allows you to move the
temp file to one that has a lot of free space.

One thing I would check is to see in Device Manager if the TV tuner
card shares its interrupt with another device which also generates a
lot of interrupts. The FusionHDTV card exhibits a similar problem, and
moving the card to a PCI slot that does not share its interrupt
eliminates the problem.
