Wireless MVP Causing Sage to Skip.

[vividweb]

I have SageTV machine setup and running quite well, having few glitches but its manageable. I purchased a wireless MVP and finally got it working. The only problem is when someone watches the MVP and someone else is watching the main Sage machine it causes the Sage computer to skip. I looked at my processor usage and it is maxed out. I have a 2.8Ghz Celeron with 512 mb RAM.

Is this expected or do I need to upgrade my PC to support the MVP better?

Does a wired MVP use less horsepower than the wireless? I'm looking at adding more to my system, but I doubt to MVP's would work connected to this machine.

Also to note, when I connect using my laptop client I get zero skip on either the client or the server. My record settings are set in the middle to better setting (forget what the actual setting is).

Could you verify if the SageTVTranscoder is running when this happens? Watching transcoded shows use much more cpu.

Seems to me that wired/wireless is transparent to the server PC. The wireless-specific computation/data-chucking is done by your Wireless Router/Access Point with no penality to the server.
