MythTV could solve the problem, or at least limit the apparent impact of delay when surfing.<br>
<br>
Use three tuners at once, so the video stream for the +1 and -1
channels are already being recorded, eliminating the buffering
delay. There would be a slight delay while you switch the player
to a new video file, but that may be minimal compared to the buffering
when changing to a new signal.<br>
<br>
But as someone pointed out, the developers apparently don't see live TV
as that important, and I understand. I use my system 90% with
recorded stuff, but occasionally I surf for live sports or just to veg
out...<br>
