1.2TB of storage. My front ends are<br>> a<br>> P4 3.0 SFF pc and a via epia 800. Ok, now to to the problme. The backend<br>> has two cards (three tuners) 1x PVR500 and one pcHDTV5000. They both work<br>> great. The problem is that no matter how I set the priorities and card
<br>> ids<br>> (I have the two PVRs higher), live tv ALWAYS starts using the HD tuner<br>> unless the card is in use. Since the epia is way under powered for HD<br>> decoding, this cause a bit of heartache. In addition, the current ATRPMS
<br>> release is causing a buffer error... timed out waiting for video buffers,<br>> which I suspect only happens when tuning in HD channels. In any case, I<br>> would really like to only use the HD tuner for recording and the
<br>> occasional<br>> and intentional live viewing of HD content.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> mythtv-users mailing list<br>> <a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org
