[mythtv-users] AIW question

[Harondel J. Sibble]

It's covered quite well in the list archives, the drivers are not capable of 
concurrent recording and playback. Without that you are SOL. The problem has 
NOTHING to do with mythtv, it has everything to do with the gatos drivers. It 
is a known issue and is part of the reason you have to have avview running to 
be able to do a recording with the AIW cards. Maybe that will be fixed one 
day, however don't hold your breath as there are supposed to be some hardware 
issues that affect this...

Xawtv only displays incoming video, it does not do it concurrently with 
recording so using that method is of little use to Mythtv.
