software glitch with HD PVR re-install

[tvmaster2]

did a re-install - same hardware save for a new SSD drive.

copied my old install - aka drivers for Colossus and HD-PVR down to the version and date. Everything is fine save for one problem....

HD PVR seems to be running at 5 frames per second.
Doesn't matter if it's an old recording from the HD PVR, a new recording or a live feed. The drive and directory where HD PVR programs were and are now stored is identical.
The only software I didn't install was the Arcsoft TME software that came with the HD PVR, since Hauppauge tech support said I didn't have to.
I did install the Arcsoft 'Showbiz' software from the Colossus install, which Hauppauge said would take care of everything.

It can't be hardware, cause' when I swap back my old HDD boot drive, everything is peachy, as is the NEW install of the Colossus, so that rules out the new SSD as a problem.

anyone else seen this with a HD PVR? Is it linked to an audio driver maybe? I'm flumuxed

Note: recordings from the HD PVR drive/directory stream smooth as silk from my iPad using TiSageTV....

What video decoder are you using? (settings in Sagetv)

I made a note off all settings used in my previous install and copied them item for item. I was using the Microsoft decoder filters for MPEG2 and H.264, and defualt for VC-1

strangely - the Colossus is working brilliantly

Actually, my HD200 plays back live, new and old material from the HD PVR perfectly, so I am thinking it's a native video driver problem between the Sagetv machine and the HD PVR

I believe that most just use the default windows 7 decoders like you have done so you are good there. It may be the showbiz software??? I usually just install the drivers as I have no need for the Arcsoft software.

If the old recordings are also playing slow then it isn't the drivers as they would only effect the new recordings. I have 4 HDPVR's so not sure if the Colossus would cause this.

both my iPad and HD200 are playing back all streams associated with the HD PVR. The Colossus is playing perfectly on the machine SageTV is installed on. The problem appears to be limited to HD-PVR playback on the machine which SageTV is installed on.

UPDATE: reason seems to be defective HD-PVR drivers, or in conjunction with WinTV 7 latest software.
