So somewhere in this process, either many more than ten frames of<br>video is being written, or something else is eating up a lot of time.<br>If it is more video, then someone who knows the code (read: a dev)<br>should be able to find where this amount is specified, lower it,

True, except you're missing a couple of points here. The first,
and most important, is that the devs have repeatedly stated that this
issue does not effect them. Given that, they are highly unlikely
to devote any time to it, let alone the amount of time required to
profile the channel changing code and repeatedly recompile to test
fixes. You're also forgetting that this is not a commercial
product. It's software designed and written by Isaac and the
other developers, for their use. They are generous enough to
release it, for free, to anyone else who cares to use it. So, if
you want to use their wonderful free project, you get what they choose
to give you. If you don't like how it works, fix it without
breaking anything else and they'll probably be happy to include your
patch. Continual bitching about a feature not working the way YOU
think it should, with no attempt at debugging or fixing the error, is
very likely to get you nothing but angry replies.<br>

working on in my spare time. It's been under heavy development for
almost four years, and is now quite useable and featureful.<br>-------------<br><br></font>I guess a disclaimer should be added after this line, "By the Coders, For the Coders ! Don't know how to code or debug ? Don't bother bitching about it !"
<br><br>That should really cut down 90% of the liveTV and other complaints/requests. Because as I see, any requests asked by the end user which conflicts with the devs, eventually ends in up in "send me your patch !". If I was not an actual coder, I'd think the devs are asking for a Nicotine patch or something !
<br><br>Its a wonderful piece of software, no doubt about it. I've been using it for 1 1/2 yr and extremely happy. The backend is rock solid and it never crashes/leaks/etcetc. But I never see any liveTV, actually, I never see the mythfrontend at all :-). I only use mythweb for all my scheduling etc. So, I've no issues with the livetv :-)
