[mythtv-users] Mythtv.9 - increased choppiness of video/ dropped frames

[cmisip]

Seems like not everybody is having these problems.  Some have even
reported increased speed.  Maybe it is system specific.  My system is an
AMD Athlox XP 2400+ with Soyo KT400 motherboard and dual TV tuners: ATI
TV Wonder and ATI TV Wonder VE, using SB Live 5.1 and btaudio.
