You can do what I do - set the channel up/down buttons to only show the OSD
of what's on on that channel, and then hit "enter" to chagne to that
channel.  It'll still take a couple of seconds once you hit "enter", but it
makes channel surfing much more unobtrusive.

Hi,

OK. so how would I make it buffering the show only after I start watching
it ? Or can't it do that. A simple test with mplayer and ptune.pl showed
that the delay corresponds exactly to mplayers buffering. But mplayer
continues playing and doesn't freeze the picture like mythtv.

So how to reduce the buffering to a minimum ?

Thanks,
Schlomo
