Or he might not. Or it may depend on your particular setup. Hypervisors do indeed do some very strange things by necessity when they abstract the hardware layer. I’ve had a great experience running a DVR in a hypervisor myself with almost no problems at all. I switched to MythTV as I prefer Linux and it was much easier for me to run it on the base OS as that point. But if the abstraction layer is translating between your OS and bare metal there will be some delay; there’s no way to avoid it. Whether it’s a deal breaker or not depends on hardware, vendor, OS, driver quality, and on and on and on. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Don’t get discouraged by people that seem hostile. They may be real jerks, or be really nice and having a bad day, or just come off badly via email. I’ve been told various times I’m all three so I try to give the benefit of the doubt to everyone. All open source communities will have their mix of all kinds of people. Don’t give up on the whole community due to any one individual. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>If you are running in a hypervisor, try taking it onto bare hardware and see if it works better. The live cd is a great option for that with very little effort involved. If nothing else it would be good troubleshooting as well as a learning exercise. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> mythtv-users-bounces@mythtv.org [mailto:mythtv-users-bounces@mythtv.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Keith Wait<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, September 12, 2012 5:01 PM<br><b>To:</b> Discussion about MythTV<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [mythtv-users] ATSC Unwatchable<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>> Wow, please seriously don't tell me you've been running a hypervisor<br>> all this time and are just mentioning this now.
