Minimum PC spec for streaming from DM800S

I have 2 similar PCs, both 4Gb Ram (DDR2 PC6400), same Graphics card (ATI radeon 2400HD PCIe), similar motherboards ( MSI) , both XP 32, both using VLC. No1 is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000, No2 is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800. No1 will stream from the DM800 perfectly (from BBCHD), No2 is jerky.
I'm about to upgrade the processor on No2 to a AMD 64 X2 7750, is anyone out there using a lower spec Pc for this?

hy,
I'm trying to do something diferent, but can you tell me how is doing the streaming for the channels that I had some problem lika FTV hd on 9E or Astra hd promo on 23.5E or tell me if it goes ok for you the channel LUXE TV HD on 9E on your PC no2, maybe I have the same problem, or read my post on http://www.pli-image...&thread_id=9496 and tell me your results. I know that don't we have the same DM but I'll like to know how it goes on yours. And you can tell what it say VLC at "media information" regarding your stream with problem, because I'll steal think that VLC have some problem with the stream reading on mpeg4.
regards.

Did you disable the h264 loop filter in vlc? Did you try the core avc codec with other mediaplayers?

hy!
can you tell where do I have to change the "loop filter" in vlc? In the "preferences" in "input/codecs--other codecs--FFmpeg" or "input/codecs--video codecs--x264" and what are other setting that can improve VLC for HD, and what are the other players that can play the stream from DM, except mplayer because is not playing at all, it give me only a fraction of second of image and then it crash (only on HD channels).

A quick search on "vlc loop filter" gave me this topic: http://forum.videola...hp?f=14&t=43944 with this screenshot: http://i.afterdawn.c...loop_filter.png
IOW: Set the "Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding" to "all".
I guess it won't hurt to change the setting in both places.

Thank's for the quick answer! It was true. If "loop filter" was skipped the quality of displayed image reduce a bit but now it work smooth even on stream with 15500kb/s and it was no problem. So the dream network is not so poor, and consider this is done on clone and also without the "condesator-patch", i think is not so bad.
Also i had played with other, like "hurry up" and also "skip frame/idct" both i've set to -1 and then it work even with "loop filter" set to none (for having better image) but worked up to a rate of 12000kb/s on 15000 kb/s channel it was not bad but not so good.
