I stand corrected on the TiVo delay. Thanks. :-)<br>

Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] I'm in....
The delay in channel changes while watching live TV is due to the face
that live TV is cached in a ring buffer, to make it possible to pause
live TV and do instant replays. 3-5 seconds of live TV is
cached to your
hard drive before it is played on screen. When you change channels, it
takes a few seconds to see the channel change occur. BTW, TiVO and
ReplayTV do the same sort of thing, but I don't think most people use
them to watch TV, just to record it.

FWIW, and to add to my earlier post: I just asked my co-worker about his
Tivo experience. He does use it for live tv, and as far as changing
channels: "um, not anything significant... nothing more than regular
cable... maybe a second or less" And that's a hardware encoder, on like a
53MHz cpu or something? But with a nice real-time design, of course. From
a performance standpoint I'm still curious if we can't re-nice
mythbackend/mythfrontend, and using a hardware encoder get away with a
smaller live buffer. I'm a channel-surfer and I just can't change my ways!
;-) But I still love myth for scheduling recordings...

I also see that it takes a long time to change channels, I was
attributing mine to the slow cpu(C3 Nemiah). But I am not sure that
this is correct. I am also seeing video and audio get a little jumpy
when the OSD comes up. Are you seeing this as well? What
