    Thanks, guys; it’s good to know there are still some hanging on.  When my HTPC was working well I thought it’s the greatest thing ever.  When I get error after error afer bug I’m ready to toss it out the window.  I’ve about given up on recording since it’s the playback of those that give me the most trouble.  Not to mention a storm last year knocked out my amplifier for my antenna so I haven’t been able to pick up any ATSC channels which have made my 2 digital tuners useless.  So all I have is the analog tuner for DirecTV.

    I am thinking about getting an AMD A8-6500 and an Asrock FM2 moherboard with 4GB of RAM.  Probably going to go with an SSD this time, too.  On paper, AMD’s APUs seem to be the perfect choice but AMD does make me a little nervous.  I currently use a 6570, and I have a little problem with that because for some reason it will not keep the manual Deinterlacing setting of “Vector Adaptive”.  I will go to watch a recording and it looks really bad and I know just what it is…go to CCC only to see that it has changed back to “Automatic Deinterlacing”.

    I think that I am going to do a reinstall very soon, possibly this weekend, to see if that helps anything.
