<pre wrap="">Just because you think this is true, it doesn't mean it is. Some
people experience immediate channel changes. Some people experience a
few second delays. Search the lists for more information. I remember
Isaac saying that there is no "buffering" time built into myth. As
soon as information is able to be displayed, it is displayed.

Also my harddisk is filling up realtively fast. 500MB after an

<pre wrap="">All machines record to a disk somewhere. A "diskless" system means
there's no disk local to the machine, but there is one somewhere
that's mounted and being used. 500MB/hour is not a lot of space for
video. You need to invest in a larger hard drive if you're short on
space.

of a cache, maybe
with up to 50MB in size, or the video should be delivered directly
without a delay.
Just think about live-broadcastings. You see the decisive goal 30
seconds later than
your neighbour. He is jumping around and you are asking yourself why.

<pre wrap="">If you're experiencing 30 second delays, something is VERY wrong with

must be used by

MythTV is a really good application, with or without this feature.

<pre wrap="">Are you using 0.19 or 0.19.1? There was a major delay in changing

Whatever you want to call the current svn, I guess the "fixes stuff".
That is some of the stuff that it fixes.<br>
