Hi guys i'm having a problem with my media center i build it in order to replace my dvd player, freeview box etc and make it into a nice package so i bought the following:
iDEQ 200T Barebones
16X Lite-On DVD +/- DL RW
80GB SATA/150 Hard Drive
Twinhan DVB-T Mini TER MCE Certified TV PCI Card
Radeon 8500LE 64MB (Due to the fact i could get my radeon 9800 aiw 128mb working)
MCE Version 2 Remote + Reciever

I built it installed Windows Media Center Edition 2005 with Roll-Up 2, Installed All The Latest Drivers including the BDA MCE Certified ones for the tv card and the latest version of PowerDVD.

However the problem is media center often crashes or takes forever to load live tv, guide etc. It either take forever to change or crashes completely. This is where windows come up with an error report for eshell. Also now and again it loses all tv channel and has problems downloading the guide. Please help is there alternative software all i want is to be able to record, pause and rewind live tv, record tv from a valid epg for my region in the uk, play dvd's and view pictures.
Please note i also know it is not the specification because i was the same slowness from a Pentium 3.4Ghz W/HT, 1GB DDR400 Dual Channel, Geforce FX5900 XT 128MB.

If it don't work try hitting it, then if that doesn't work buy a new one :P
