SageTV Client and Sony Laptops

[SafetyBob]

A few days ago I installed SageTV in my main Intel P4 system that is a couple of years old (the PVR-500 would not work in a new Asus K8V SE Deluxe system that I wanted to...wouldn't even boot) so I finally got everything configured to run the way I think it needs to for now.

So I go out to the kitchen where my Sony PCG-GRX650 (P4 1.8 GHz/512MB/30GB HD/DVD-CDRW combo) is and try loading the SageTV Client. It loads fine. Install DirectX 9 on it. All the Java stuff loads. After I start the Client and register. All I get is a frozen picture on live tv with good sound. The picture just freezes and never updates or tries. I check to see that with WMP 10 I can play MPEG-2 movie from the sageTV server.....beautiful picture. Back to sageTV....frozen pic with sound. Oh, I have the intervideo encoder and decoder on the laptop. I know I must be missing something. Thanks for help.

Have try telling SageTVClient to used Intervideo decoder

I am using a Linksys 10/100 switch in my network, and I think I had it using the Intervideo codec. I will check again on the codec.....that is under Detailed Setup....Video.....MPEG@ Video Decoder Filter? Correct?
