[mythtv-users] Speed/disk access, multiple tuners, multiple myth drives

[Tortise]

How much RAM do you have and what is your CPU?

  My Mythbox specs are a PVR-150 and drive is a WD Sata 320gb 16mb cache.

  Currently if the tuner is recording and I try to watch a previous recording at the same time, I notice slowdown in responsiveness for things like rewinding/forwarding and whatnot. Now if I add another tuner, would that make things smoother for playback?

  Or another scenario I'm pondering to get things smoove is that I'm thinking of adding a Seagate 32mb cache drive. Now could I have Myth set up so that it records LiveTV to one drive and keeps recordings on another?So if it were to be recording Live TV while I'm watching a previous recording, surely things would be faster.

  Just a bit confused on this, trying to get it a lil smoother as even deleting files on the drive causes playback to pause, and I have the delete files slowly option in mythtv-setup checked.

  Thanks for any help,
  Bob
