ATI HDMI drivers

anyone having problems with on-board ATI/AMD HD Radeon installations and their HDMI drivers (could be from a MB manufacturer, Realtek, etc.).
Since my last rebuild, I am getting occasional stutering after channel changes, which usually results in a reboot to solve it.
All my Hauppauge drivers and setup are identical to my previous build, but it's possible there are some new ATI drivers in there.
My SageTV server is connected via HDMI from the on-board Gigabyte video card, running ATI Radeon HD4200.

PS - my extender (200) has no problems, so I assume it's a problem with the servers video display abilities

My new A10-4600m (?) system is working OK. Not as smooth as a HD200, but nothing that bugs me. I'm not tweaked to work perfect, but OK for now. I just lost my "main Machine, or I'd be starting a new thread about setting a new client. I haven't needed to hook to a mordern TV until now, and have questions. (mine were all SD TVs or pure PC/Monitor)

The HDMI drivers are only for outputting sound via hdmi. They are built in to the current driver download or are available on the same page on the amd driver website.

ah - ok. really? so which drivers are responsible for video HDMI - same ones as the VGA/DVI outputs?

Honestly, the 4200 on board may be your issue instead of the driver. That is a pretty weak gpu. Try software decoding and see how that works out for you (if your cpu is up to the task).

the problem I am having is new, and related to my new re-build. I still have my previous build on a different boot drive, and the video stuttering after channel change doesn't happen. It could also be a tweak I had done on the advice of Sage tech support, but since they are out of business, I don't know how to recreate that scenario.
The 4200 has been generally fine for occasional use on my server, until this rebuild.

Well, that's odd. What decoder do you have set for video and audio? Is it an OTA tuner or a hd-pvr/colossus?
