Now that Virgin have recently upgraded their broadband speed to 10 megs I
decided to take advantage of the BBC's HD Internet Service.

I connected up my computer (via a D socket) to a 32 in HD TV and watched
all
four Reginald Perrin episodes and apart from the (un-zoomed) picture size
being smaller than full screen the actual video quality was excellent.

However when I attempt to watch Wainwright's Walks it just produces the
programme in a series of jerky movements, almost as if it was running at
about 10 fps (the sound remains OK) I checked out the broadband speed
which
shows a download speed of 9.87mb,  I've also tried disabling hardware
acceleration and even using a faster computer running Vista with two
gigabytes of memory, with exactly the same results.. can anyone tell me
what's happening please.

We get that .. summat to do with needing the -right- graphics card
IIRC...

What I know about graphics cards could probably be written on a postage
stamp, however this one at least appears to be pretty good value, got to be
worth a try for £30.00.. HDMI/DVI, 512 megs of memory, and a PCI-E (which my
mother board accepts) slot, very tempted to rush out and buy it now and let
anyone interested know how I get on after fitting it.

Would be worth checking other users results before your purchase.
What is your current card and have you got the latest drivers and
latest Flash installed?
