Ah yeah, had forgot all about the solid state drives.  Yeah, this is for 
live tv only.  While
the rest of the family never watches live tv, the in-laws are on their 
way for the holidays
and I have some lagging latency issues when watching live tv that I 
thought maybe faster
ringbuf access might fix.

Thanks for the reply.
