Re: help on frame skipping
I ran a test without watching the show while record it. The CPU usage is 5-15%. The frame skipping is still there, but is very much related to the channel I watch and aiming the antenna. Sometimes it’s as infrequent as once or twice a minute. I'm 22 miles from the broadcaster, but I also have woods with 55 foot trees only 100 feet from my antenna. I haven't yet mounted the antenna high. It's only 20 feet off the ground. I could easily be getting multi-path. So I don't think there's a driver or software issue, but rather my signal source.
One thing we lose when we go to HDTV is the ability to "see" what's wrong with the signal. On analog TV it's easy to recognize multi-path because of the ghosting it generates. In fact there are all sorts of different types of interference. A trained eye can look at the picture and know what needs correcting. This doesn't seem to be so with HDTV. Is anyone aware of a way to diagnose signal problems on HDTV? I.e., recognize that a problem is multi-path, signal overload, interference from another source, etc.?
