I operate YTTV on a second screen. During regular computer tasks—such as opening a spreadsheet or loading a webpage—it affects the YTTV signal, causing stuttering video and audio, poor picture clarity. Even at high D/L speeds, the image quality remains inconsistent.

System details: Dell XPS 8940 desktop, MS 11 processor with i7-11700 @ 2.5gHz, 32GB RAM, RX 3060 Ti GPU.

Thoughts?
Thanks

Hey there,
Are you using YTTV via a browser? Try turning off hardware acceleration and see if that helps.

Easier way. Use the PC just for PC stuff. Amazon is offering a 4K fire TV for 22 or 23 dollars. Grab one and enjoy!

Spending 22-23$ is much easier than adjusting a browser setting. If you share your computer details, it might help since your system could handle watching a video and playing games at the same time. This could point to a CPU issue. Also, it's common to fix video stutter in Chrome and Edge by turning hardware acceleration on or off.

It's easier, but it doesn't save money.

Bingo. It makes things much easier and reduces stress on the computer, allowing you to play without consuming extra resources.

Modern PCs are built to handle multiple tasks at once. For instance, a 13900k with 24 cores and 32 threads would experience very little strain while gaming, especially if you're watching videos or streaming. Current games typically require only a few cores, so most systems wouldn't be overwhelmed. A lower-end CPU like the 5600x might see higher usage, but it usually stays within safe limits—around 55-60%—without any noticeable slowdown. Regardless of the setup, turning off the option seems like the simplest and most cost-effective choice.

Dell XPS 8940 desktop with MS 11, i7-11700 at 2.5gHz, 32GB RAM, RX 3060Ti GPU.
Monitor: Dell S2721DGF.
GPU: GeForce RTX 3060Ti.
Browser: Firefox.
No acceleration option found in Display Settings.
Used a separate TV previously but now require two monitors for work. YTTV in a tab is the best choice.
Consider a separate streamer later, though it would need more hardware and a remote.
Thx
