Thanks for the information.<br><br>Using the windows software that came with the box it takes 10-30 seconds for<br>things to happen. I also tried GBPVR and it was unusable as that the lag was<br>so bad that clicking menus was near impossible.
</blockquote><div><br><br>I uses two MVPs as remote front ends, and dont notice any kind of lag. If I remember, GBPVR uses emulation, so this could explain the slowness. I use MVPMC, which is a full replacement dongle, and it has native MythTV code to watch recorded and live TV programs.

<br>don't have cable and thus have a friend record Battlestar galatica for me.<br>Thus I put on PC and stream. The transcoding on the windows box is bad as<br>that the audio gets out of sync. Note I run on a 3800+ X2 box with 2G ram,
<br>thus CPU should not be an issue.</blockquote><div><br><br>I also use the MVP boxes to watch AVI files. Transcoding is done on the backend and HTTP streamed using VLC. My backend machine is considerably less than your (Athlon 1300+, 384MB RAM) and I have no delay, stuttering etc.

use the MediaMVP as front end. If I can get it all working I was going to<br>give my friend a backend box to make it easier to record the shows like<br>battlestar...</blockquote><div><br><br>MVPMC also supports scheduling of programs and many new features. The latest version is
0.3.1, and is available at <a href="http://www.mvpmc.org">http://www.mvpmc.org</a>. I'd suggest checking out the wiki and mailing lists as there is a lot of useful information<br><br> - J<br></div><br></div><br>
