[mythtv] Sssssllooooowwww watching TV

[Chris Palmer]

This is standard behavior for a buffering DVR.  "Live TV" really 
isn't "live".  MythTV has to take time to record and encode the 
images coming from the TV signal before you have something to 
play back.  

I haven't used tvtime, but it looks like a true "live tv" 
application, which just gets the picture up on your screen.
You can't pause and rewind with it while watching, right?
