That answers m y question thanks. I actually have a TIVO so I need to 
decided which is better to use. PVR on TIVO (no mythtv) or PVR on linux 
(mythtv). I think it'll be tivo since it has much better output

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?
