Hi Mike,
I was using tvtime, but it has no time shifiting and pvr.
I was testing mythtv configuration for software encoding for v4l, and
noted that if I use lower resolution (352x240) the "prebuffering pause"
message gets worst. If I use (720 X 576) I get just a few messages. I am
usaing Pal-m. Why it get worst with lower resolution?
If I use less quality it would reduce the usage of cpu?
Cheers,
Marcos Iuato
