    I have the latest drivers and MMC 7.6 installed, when I watch live TV my CPU usage is 100% in task manager, no other programs are running. When I exit MMC my CPU usage drops to 0 to 3 %. Is this normal? I have my cable line hooked on to a 2 way spliter, one goes to my cable modem and the other to the AIW. The reception is great, but that CPU usage worries me. Thanks.

    That does seem really high (CPU utilization) for just watching live (non-timeshifted) TV.

    Are your motherboard drivers (VIA 4-in-1 drivers, I presume) up to date? Current 4-in-1 version is 4.38 I believe.

    If that doesn't apply, you might want to check out the forums at www.rage3d.com.
