Hi-
Just updated to .21 and am getting a much increased channel change delay
relative to .20 which was already too slow. It's taking 15 to 25
seconds to lock, and then the normal 3-5 seconds or so after that to
actually play. Anyone else seeing delays like this?
thx-
Jeremy

Before a dozen developers jump this question w/ unconstructive "why
watch livetv?" discussion, let me provide some information:
* I have checked and read previous threads.
* This is slow channel change, but I don't think the typical buffer
delay- this is slow to lock (dvb-s), and it's different in .21 than it
was with.20.
* LiveTV channel change performance does in fact, matter, even if you
personally don't use it. That is, if you're at all interested in MythTV
maintaining popularity in a rapidly filling market of competing software
or integrated devices that accomplish the same technical hurdles for
LiveTV, but do it better. I still choose MythTV for a variety of other
reasons, so of course I'd like to see MythTV dominate the competition on
all fronts. (sorry- I've just seen many other threads degrade to an "I
don't need it, so you shouldn't need it either" type of discussion)
