HD PVR recording questions

[davenlr]

I've left mine on for 5 days, with sage media extender "recording" it, and its warm, but not hot. Guess I got a lucky first batch with the old lower voltage chip....

Anyway, my question, sending the HD-PVR to the media extender... would a standard wired linksys 100mps router be able to send the video to two media extenders in different rooms? I hate to buy a second hd media extender and have the network not be able to handle it.

Second question, using a Nvidia 8500gt card, cpu is 5% using arcsoft to play/preview HD-PVR, but the sagetv uses 100%. I do have "use hardware accelleration" turned on in sage, and am using the latest beta drivers...Any suggestions?

And last but not least, when using sage to record the HD-PVR, when I try to convert the resulting file, when its done, it plays back in slow motion and with audio. Tried several formats, and none of them make a good file (dvd, mp4, etc). It works fine on the files recorded off the hd atsc usb tuner stick. Something I'm doing wrong? Sage support said they couldn't duplicate it...

You can look here or here for possible answers to this problem. If you are using Vista the second link is likely the answer to the problem. If XP then follow the recommendations in the first.
