Well one thing that stands out for me is your video card. I suspect it
may not be up to the task of displaying the hd video. Your base system
seems fast enough and I suspect 'top' will show lots of spare cpu
available. Invest in a cheap nVidia FX5200 with the right output options
for your set. You wont regret the investment.
Is your hdhr running on a 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit network connection? 10
Mbit may not be fast enough. Wireless can be an issue too.
