That is very true Isaac but i have noticed with the cvs of 7/02/03 that 
the cpu usage when watching live tv is very low until i change channels 
then  it jumps up to 10% to 15% on the frontend and stays there.
This never happened before!
Sorry for being such a pain in the A** but i love Mthtv and want it to 
be perfect.
