Live TV skips and stutters

Just installed BTV on a Pentium 4 2.4GHz, Windows 2000, no anti-virus or much of anything else installed. Using Hauppage PVR-250, live TV (all I have tested so far) is unwatchable because of skipping and stuttering. What settings / adjustments should I look at making to see if this can be fixed?
Thanks!

Re: Live TV skips and stutters

You need to give more info. Like for starters, what kind of video card do you have in the system, How much processor is being used while your watching tv. Do you have Overlay on vs Hardware?

Re: Live TV skips and stutters

I have a GeForce FX5200 video card. My CPU usage never goes above 25%. I am using hardware (3D) rendering (when I use overlay, it just comes in black-and-white).
Thanks for your help!

Re: Live TV skips and stutters

i recommend you use overlay, it'll prob be a better solution for you, what drivers are you running on the TV tuner and video card?

have you tried WInTV that comes w/ the TV tuner? how does it work

Using overlay, the picture is in black-and-white. How can I fix that?

Drivers:
WinTV PVR - 1.18.21.23257
NVIDEA GeForce FX 5200 - 6.14.10.9371

I haven't used WinTV because I cannot find the CD that came with the card.

With WinTV, the screen is just blank (no picture at all).

Re: Live TV skips and stutters

If it doesn't work in WinTV, it probably will not work in BTV.

Are you using these drivers:
