Ok, so maybe this is a stupid question, however a search yielded no results.
I have charter digital cable (requires the cable box). Just using the cable box (no HTPC) there is roughly a 1 to 1.5 second delay in changing channels (from my understanding this is normal). However when I hook my HTPC up along with the cable box there is about a 3 to 4 second delay when changing channels. This is VERY annoying. I assume I am doing something wrong (I doubt this many people would stand for a 3+ second delay while changing channels). So what am I doing wrong?
This is how I currently have it hooked up:
Cable coming into house --> Cable box --> HTPC --> TV
I have seen people hook up remotes to their HTPC, but how does this control the cable box? Or does it not need to?
Thanks for the help,
Jeff.
