I have recently restarted using my htpc again since have installed large tv in bedroom. I know in the past I would regularly get the low bit rate message usually while recording and watching live tv and once and while get it just watching live TV. This never happen with xp or while on Vista with media center and I know this was a known issue with W7 Media center and MS came out with a hot fix.It was usually hit or miss if it fixed it or not and I do have that fix installed.
After seeing that message come up again I'm thinking about going back to XP or Vista (I know but got it for free) as those did not have a issue..or did MS "really" fix it in W8 and wmc if so I can use it.
If it matters I have dishnetwork hooked up to pc to record and watch live.TV tuner card is a Diamond TV Wonder HD650 pcie
