<p>Ok...</p>
<p>So capturing from sky (or virgin) legally and within the agreed terms of service would be via component capture (hdhomerun) using a scart breakout lead or svideo. Capturing from rf isnt really very good.</p>
<p>To be honest it is not something i have managed to get very good quality from. There are other ways of doing it but they are strictly forbidden topics for this list and although i know the theory i dont have experience of them.</p>
<p>With regard to the huge delays... you need to quantify that. Is it less than 20seconds? If so is that really a huge delay?</p>
<p>I never watch livetv... ever... even f1 is watched a few minutes behind so i can start to watch it at my convenience and let myth do its job of scheduling rather than suddenly myth being asked to provide a tuner for livetv it wasnt expecting (and had allocated for a different recording)... tell myth what you want it to record and let it record... then watch the recorded programmes - even if they are inprogress recordings... <br>
