Hi guys,
thanks, I didn't think about trying a lowe resolution. These MDs run 1280x1024, the main reason being that I also use them for remote desktop working, and there a lowe resolution is unusable.
But I will try lowering the resolution to 640x480 tonight and see if that makes the TV smooth. Will report the results. It still won't solve my problem since I can't use that low resolution permanently, but it's an interesting exercice.
Skeptic: to answer your question, I get my channels through an HD Homerun. What that does I think is that it takes the MPEG 2 stream and simply resends it to the core and then to the MD. That would be a fairly big amount of data for HD channels.
No ideas about how to have different channel lists in Myth on different MDs? I do know how to get a channel 123 for ABC HD and a channel 124 for ABC SD for example, the goal would be that certain MDs only show 123 and others only 124...
