Bloody PC's - Who knows - it could be the added combo of 60hz on that box. Can you try PC1 with that TV (or Vice Versa). Also, how are you connecting your PC to your TV and what resolutions are you using on the two PCs. Can you please post what filters are being used when playing the files on both PCs? Also do you stutter on SD and HD recordings? Note: I'll still bet that the filters combo don't like TS but I found out the hard way that my first Plasma had very poor processing of some signal types that resulted in all my DTV having an unnatural look. I never really got a good watchable
Changing monitor didn't help.
HTPC1 is running 1920x1080@50Hz and is conected to the HDMI input.
HTPC2 is running 1360x768@75Hz connected to the RGB input.
Here are the graphs for the two PCs, just remember that the config on HTPC2 used to work fine until recently, but when it was working webscheduler was doing the recordings on HTPC2, they are now done on HTPC1.
I have tried different filters (Nvidia, ffdshow etc) nd also the haali splitter, same results.
I am running Enhanced Video render on HTPC2 as for some reason VMR7 distorts aspect rations on thnis PC or just gives me a blank screen! And Enhanced is wat USED to work fine on HTPC2.
I can't test webscheduler recording on HTPC2 at the moment as I don't have a tuner installed in the box or an antenna connection close by, but I will have in a few days time once I run the cable.

Using MPEG seems to be working fine, so I might just end up having to do that, especially since the only reason I was using dvr-ms was becasue I could watch the TV show while it was being recorded by webscheduler. But since recent MC changes to otto and it now doesn't import open files I can't do this anyway
