First timer here, hope this is the right place for this post. Whenever I watch TV on my PC through Catalyst Media Center, my CPU utilization hovers between 90 & 100% (even if no other programs are running) which at times causes the video to freeze. I have an ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI tuner card which is supposed to offload the decoding work from the CPU. Windows XP Professional SP2 Pentium 4 3.06 CPU Intel D845PESV motherboard (533 FSB) 2GB Mushkin PC3200 memory ATI Radeon 9800 XT (AGP 4x) Samsung SyncMaster 245bw (1900 x 1250) Planar PL150M (secondary) Catalyst Media Center I realize that my system is an older one with single core processor, but I think my hardware should be more than sufficient to watch TV without my PC freezing up! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! PS - It doesn't matter if I watch TV on primary or secondary monitor, CPU utilization is 90-100% either way.
