HTPC Specs:
I don't think the DMAs are all that slow once you turn off menu transitions. Slowness is more due to the backend HTPC and/or your network and tuners in my experience - with a newly built SSD-based, i5-3570k CPU HTPC the DMA2100 I have is not slow. But we only use it for live and recorded TV.

HTPC Specs:
Exactly, my DMA is lighting quick, but I have done several things. A) I have a lot of stuff on my GB network so I have 3 ethernet adapters in my HTPC: one to the HDPrime tuner, one to the tv/video stack/DMA, and one to the rest of the network, they are all 'bridged' in the HTPC. B) I added a SSD cache to the HTPC.slowbiscuit wrote:I don't think the DMAs are all that slow once you turn off menu transitions.

My channel changes are a fast as a cable box, maybe faster and startup time is somethimes just several seconds.
