[mythtv-users] MythShyte: One unhappy customer

[John Kuhn]

from the docs

-A PIII/733MHz system can encode one video stream using the MPEG-4 codec 
using 480x480 capture resolution. This does not allow for live TV 
watching, but does allow for encoding video and then watching it later.

your just barely cutting it.. if you want to use that 1ghz system 
effiecntly get a hardware based tv card like the PVR-250,350,500,150 or 
lower the bitrate and resolution that you are using to record with your 
software based card..

shitting all over mythtv will get you nowhere.. i suggest wording things 
better in the future..you're lucky there is some really good guys on 
this list..
