Whenever I watch recorded TV, WMC will freeze the computer for a few minutes and then starts working again (WAF suffers). However, if there is a program being recorded at the same time as I am trying to watch one that has been previously recorded, then WMC will not freeze, and WAF soars.
I have looked high and low to find a solution for this problem, and it seems like it is an interrupt storm. With that being said, I have tried to isolate any hardware that might be causing it, and all that's left is the MOBO, video card and cable card tuner. I can't test the video card as I don't have one laying around that is compatible with the TV, and testing the tuner and mobo are out of the question as this will require too much downtime.
I have looked at other methods for testing for an interrupt storm, but they would require the HTPC to be down for too long.
Any help is appreciated.
WMC freezes, but only during specific conditions
