I don't understand. What benefit are you getting from watching TV
under Myth? You're not using Myth to change channels and you're
not talking about recording stuff, just watching TV. So why
bother doing through Myth? Just use your TV.<br>

<br>
Right, because Myth is *buffering* the video (about 3-4 seconds
worth). So when you change the channel on your
receiver it immediately starts sending the new channel video to
Myth. This puts it directly into the buffer which is 3-4 seconds
behind what you were watching when you changed the channel. After
you've watched those 3-4 seconds in the buffer you start to see your
channel change.<br>

Nope, never. <br>

I don't see what Windows vs. Linux has to do with this. Myth runs
on linux, but you're complaining about the way Myth works. That
is in no way related to what operating system Myth is running on.
If there was a windows version of Myth it would almost definitely work
the same way. Then what? Windows outperforms Windows?<br>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br>
No, that's not why. It's because most of us understand how Myth works. <br>

No, I don't think so. It's hard to say what the "most important
feature" of Myth is, but I can tell you that it is most definitely NOT
channel surfing TV by skipping Myth's channel changing features.<br>

Yup, I do both. <br>

First of all, I'd say "change the code" not "correct the code".
You're implying that the code is broken which it's not. I just
doesn't work the way you want it to. Secondly, if you want this
feature so bad why would the time be wasted?<br>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br>
Ah, but if your system was set up correctly Myth *would* know that the
channel was switched because it would be switching it based on your
input.<br>
