Ahh, will give that a try....

Yes, have tried it without rebooting, no joy.

Anyways, here is where I am at now.  I can have a recording of one show going 
and then can startup livetv with another show.

Both recording streams get audio, however the live tv tends to get choppy 
both with audio and video with pauses every 10-20 seconds or so. Looking at 
the term window I started mythfrontend from, I first see rebuffering a few 
times, then after a minute or some, I see audio buffer overflowed, audio data 
lost.  If I then shut down live tv and later on watch the first recorded 
video, it's av are out of sync until the around the time I stopped watching 
live tv on the second tuner.  I am sure part of this is processor (and 
motherboard) related as I only have an XP1800+ on a VIA KT133a board and I 
have both tuners set to use MPEG4.

I also tried using the aggressive soundcard buffering feature but that made 
no difference.

Also, while I had one stream being recorded in MPEG4, I switched the second 
to RTJPEG and then went to live tv, same problems as before but different 
errors this time

Your soundcard is not reporting freespace correctly.
Falling back to old method....
