Poor Streaming performance

[bhunter]

I setup Pfsense and untagle on my esxi box.  I am going to try and make this as easy to understand as possible.  I attached a network drawing to give a person a visual.  Pfsense and untagle is replacing a Mikrotik RB750GL.

Please review the attached diagram for better understanding og my Lan layout.

With the Mikrotik in place Sagetv access' the HDhomerun Prime and streams TV Fine.

Once I virtualized PFsense and untangled (removing the Mikrotik) here is what I experienced:

Users were able to access the Internet and network resources.  Minor glitches but I could overcome most minor stuff.

Problem:  Sagetv could not stream from the HDhomerun prime.  It see's the HDhomerun prime but the video is very pixelated (unwatchable).

For now I reinstalled the Mikrotik.  Everything returned to normal.

What I did: 
1.  Rebooted all devices (Sagetv VM, Mikrotik Wireless bridge, HDhomerun prime)
2.  Adjusted all network setting when necessary.

My thoughts of a possible cause:
Untangle is the gateway. Untangle utilizes the Eth1 (lan NIC)
Sagetv, Unraid, homeseer all use Eth1 (Lan)

What am I considering as a possible solution:
Install Server grade 2 port nic.
Dedicate one of the nics to Sagetv.

I am looking for your thoughts

Thanks in advance for helping me trouble shoot this issue

well you could start by eliminating possible issue's:

-esxi with only pfsense basic install
–- once you get that working correctly start adding other tools 1-by-1 to complicate your setup.
