  Don’t know if this will help but when I had 512MB in my system (XP 2400, Shuttle SK41G, Geforce FX5200) I would get some stuttering when the feed first started, leaving Myth about 5-6 seconds behind live TV.

   

  After swapping out the memory and replacing it with 1GB (2x512) I don’t get any stuttering at all – and Myth stays at 1 second behind Live (which is to be expected as it has to prebuffer *something*).

   

  Might be worth trying – mythbackend and mythfrontend use A LOT of memory.

  I am atill getting prebuffer pause even though I have done everything recommended in the documentation pages:

   

  * bought and installed a geforce card

  * got xwindows working with nvidia

  * upgraded machine to a P3-1Ghz. (not a celeron!)

  * checked and reconfigured all of the TV settings under mythtv.

   

  Mythtv on my system was build using fc3 and atrpms. So I compiled nothing.

   

  Am I missing something crucial here, or is this just a case of sloppy code. This project has cost me time and money to get a result that is no better than "myth-shyte". After all, why would I now go and buy a p4-3.3 to watch tv, when I can just plug in my P1 and do the same thing (without buffering naturally).

   

  Unless Im blind in both eyes and delusional, I think the next step is to return to freevo aka bugvo and give mythtv the myth-skip.
