Plus, if I have one NVidia DualTV tuner and one or more PVR-150's in my computer, I don't know of a way to make SageTV give priority to the NVidia DualTV tuner. So my recordings would have just as much a chance of being recorded with my PVR-150's. (Of course I could remove them, but I can't install multiple NVidia DualTV tuners, so that just doesn't seem like a good options for me.) |

One of the next things I need to understand is resolutions. I have the RCA 52" projection HD TV, and I have thought about hooking my SageTV client up to it instead of to my 23" LCD panel -- just as a test to see if I can begin to better understand where my quality problems originate from. Any suggestions on what settings I should use? My TV has DVI input. Thanks |

My server specs: PVR-150 drivers = Hauppauge v2.0.35.23348 dated 12/14/2005 My 3 PVR-150's are OEM cards from pcalchemy.com They are installed in a dedicated server which runs Win Server 2003 (with all latest updates, SP's, etc.). The server doesn't run any other software except comskip and DirMon2. Comskip is limited to 50% of CPU. The machine has an Asus P4P800 mb, Pentium 4 at 2.x GHz, 2 GB RAM, and about 2 TB of RAID storage (Areca sata controller). I'll be happy to list more detailed specs if required. Let me know. Thanks for the feedback. |

dshields -the encoder merit property which I use gives priority to the nvidia tuner over the hauppauge.

Good point Polen.
OTOH, I am getting a nice smooth playback on a lowly GF 4 Ti4200 at 720p resolution on DVI. 1080p is jerky however for me but 720p gives a nicely scaled SDTV image. I definately agree with Polen that 1920x 1200 is pushing it. However, Dsshield should try 720p. I have not tried true HDTV though. |

I have this same card in my work computer. Here at work we all have Dell Optiplex GX620 with 3.4 GHz P4. I have dual monitors so I got the PNY Quadra NVS 280 like his and it's weaker than the Dell's Built-in video, which is an Intel 82945G Express.
Your Ti4200 is a better card and is supported by the NVidia PureVideo decoder. I had a Ti4200, it rocks. Also the Quadra NVS 280 will only use DirectX8.1 and is not supported by the NVidia PureVideo decoder. From NVidia Site Graphics Chips Supported All Microsoft DirectX® 8.x compatible chips, including: NVIDIA GeForce 7 series NVIDIA GeForce 6 series NVIDIA GeForce FX series NVIDIA GeForce4 series NVIDIA GeForce 3 series NVIDIA Quadro FX series NVIDIA Quadro4 series NVIDIA Quadro DCC series Sorry guys, but the card was not meant for watching Video. -Polen

That's good info.
I got my info from the System Requirements page, here. I'm not sure why they contradict each other. -Polen
