[mythtv-users] New to mythtv - ? about speed of channel changing

[Uwe Schmidt]

So, is there any possibility to shorten the time needed for recording 
and playback again, perhaps by reducing a buffer-size or something similar ?
And: for watching live-TV, why did the frontend not just get a "copy" of the
mpeg2 stream received by the DVB-S card (for the case of using dvb-s, e.g.)?

Yep, this is normal.

I think that the main thing is that when you are watching live tv you
are actually recording and then viewing the recording.

There is a small (couple of seconds) buffer on the feed so you see the
recording a few seconds after it happens.  This is why it takes a few
seconds for the new signal to show when you change channels.
