[mythtv-users] 8 seconds to change channel on a PVR350? normal

[Niklas Brunlid]

I know this issue has been beaten to death so many times that it's not 
funny, but I just wanted to ask if a 7-8 second delay is normal for 
changing channels on a PVR350? Reading the archives make me believe it 
should be in the 2-3 seconds range... but I also find (like many others) 
that I simply cannot fast-forward to any point further than 4-5 seconds 
behind real time, which I assume is the cause of the first problem and 
also a safety delay for software encoders. If so, is this changeable 
somewhere in the settings, or defined in a header file somewhere?

Of major importance here is that the 350 is hooked directly to my analogue 
cable, so there's no delay for external tuners.

This is all on v0.14 BTW. Simply haven't had enough free time from 
work'n'stuff to even attempt the CVS yet. :)

Also, I just read in the archives (which is a goldmine with well-hidden 
nuggets) that switching from ext3 (which I currently use) to f.x. ReiserFS 
can make a big difference here, as well as save quite a few bytes on the 
/mnt/myth/store partition... which will have to wait until tomorrow since 
it's currently 3 in the morning and experience tells me not to change 
filesystems on 140GB partitions when the brain is not all there. =)

Sorry for rambling on, but maybe all of this can be helpful for someone 
else...
