      Loss the component output, bummer for those us with slingboxes connected to our HTPCs.

      Actually, I have found that no interrupt moderation seems to help performance but it is  very dependent on the particular hardware and software being used but hey worth a shot at this point.

      After going back and reviewing….I can only think of two things.

      1.)  Some kind of driver issue between the HD Homerun and the Ceton (doubtful: I have this combination, as do many others, but I don’t use the HTPC for live TV too often but I haven’t seen what you are describing).

      2.)  Are you using a separate NIC for the HD Homerun?  If so, what type?  What you could be seeing is that while the HD Homerun is in place the HD Homerun is creating additional interrupts which is causing an additional load on the system.

      I agree with the others.  I would look at the cabling and signal issues.  I have the Ceton, HVR-2250, and an HD Homerun connected to my machine and I did need to reinstall an amplifier in the basement due to the signal levels dropping as I had totally missed the fact that the Ceton splits the signal four ways and the HVR-2250 splits it two internally.  Reinstalled the amplifier and that fixed the problem.  Also, you don’t happen to run MoCA do you?
