Hi, new Sage TV user here. Looking for some hardware tips. TIA!
My system:
Windows XP Pro SP2 SageTV 2.0 of course :-) Pentium 4 2.53Ghz 512 MB DDR2700 RAM (2x256) Intel D845PEBT2 MB NVIDIA GeForce4 TI 4200 128 MB Card (Latest Nvidia drivers) WinTV-PRV 250 Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Gamer 2x 120 MB 7200RPM WD HD 1x 100 MB 7200RPM WD HD Lite-On CD-RW Drive Sony 4x DVD-RW Drive I am looking for any good tips on optimizing my TV captures. I hear something about 64k cluster sizes on NTSF drives? Any help would be great! Also this evening I was getting some hissing sounds and the sould kept on cutting out even though it looked/sounded great on the regular TV! I checked the connection on the WinTV card and it was in all the way and tight. Any help would be great! Thanks Moondog

sonic decoders and 64kb clusters are a good place to start
not sure about the hissing is the PVR 250 beside the video card or sound card? try to move it as far away as possible from these

Stanger89 gave me a good tip that will save you time later.
Set up a bunch of partitions ... Such as; C: 20gb (4k Clusters) OS and Software D: 200gb (64k Clusters) SageTV Recordings E: 100gb (64k) Imported Video F: 50gb (4k) Imported Picrures G: 30gb (4k) Music Jukebox MP3's H: 20gb (4k) C Drive Backup Also, I recommend the latest Happuage Drivers. They've recently been upgraded. Other cool things to do are MlbDude and Malore UI and feature Sage customizations. Also, the weather plu in is great. Enjoy ... T.

Thanks guys!
I actually have 3 partitions on 3 sperate HD's for a total of 217 gugs of space for SageTV! I guess 4k block size is the default for NTFS? Anyway to change that without a reformat? :-) I just bought a WinTV-PVR 250 and in stalled it with the latest drivers of course. I dont know what those other things are you mentioned? Are they something I can download and from where? Thanks again! Moondog

you can change the cluster size within windows
right my computer and manage but this will delete the files on the partition or partition magic which will not delete the files
