The problme may be that your built in graphics card does not have 128MB of memory since 64MB is not enough to process the HD frame buffers required especially for 1080i programs.

I've alloted all the way up to 1GB of mem to the graphics section and it makes no diff. Playing of HD in MCE is not a problem, it's the live display that doesn't work. I can record and watch live HD (even time slip) in the TotalMedia PVR app that came with my card.
Does anyone with a 690G based MB have a score higher than 2.9?

A computer with a base score of 3.0 is able to run Windows Aero and many new features of Windows Vista at a basic level. Some of the new Windows Vista advanced features might not have all of their functionality available. For example, a machine with a base score of 3.0 can display the Windows Vista theme at a resolution of 1280 × 1024, but might struggle to run the theme on multiple monitors. Or, it can play digital TV content but might struggle to play High Definition Television (HDTV) content

Media Center experience. If you use your computer as a media center for advanced multimedia experiences such as recording HDTV programming, then high subscores in the CPU, hard disk, and desktop graphics categories are important. Subscores of 3.0 or higher are usually sufficient in the memory and 3D graphics categories.
