Figured it out, has nothing to do with Hardware or Codecs.

Read and understand before installing software you have no idea what it does.

after each video lock up, the V Request and A Request stay at the last number it was on I never see -1. my fps are as high as 45 fps with mpeg2 very minimal dropped packets if any, no packet loss, and no DS resets. I changed my mpeg 2 buffer to 1 meg to see if it would fill it but it never goes over...

Signal strength is 100% both bars solid no fluctuation. I see sometimes as little as 68% on some TP/Channels but it happens no matter what signal 100% or 60% I placed DVBDream in renderless mode, but could not find signal statistics, do you mean analysis ==> PID Statistics? Disbaling CoreAVC did not...

Could there be a problem with SP3? I have seen posts on other boards eluding to problems with SP3 but no one ever said what they were.

I will try disabling CoreAVC and let you know, thanks for the suggestion.
