[mythtv-users] LiveTV without the disk buffering

[Dan Cotter]

Are you sure its not a CPU speed limit? I get the same thing. It appears the Mythtv player, however it works, eats up extreme amount of CPU cycles.
I can't be a harddrive problem really, as others have said HD content won't be more than 4MB per second or so. Try finding out what the CPU usage is in myth when running.
Some other players are very smart at chucking away data when the CPU isn't fast enough. My XP2000+ can't play HD movies in the front end but can in other media players.
