recoding? How are you going to even know it's recording when you're<br>
not using the mythfrontend interface? From the sound of this you will<br>
only be able to watch if one of your 2 tuners is not recording, and<br>
even then to do it you'll be creating on screen menu artifacts for<br>
your other recording when you switch inputs.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>He's not using myth to record or display recordings. That's all handled by the STB's internal software. So Myth is only handling scheduling in this case. As Myth isn't recording, it doesn't matter that the menu and such will be displayed, the STB already handles that properly. It's an interesting idea, but it would drive me nuts not being able to play things back on Myth, only on the STB. So I would have to train people on 2 interfaces, and when to use which one. Argh. The aggravation alone is worth $200/tuner for HD-PVR boxes. If only we had sane rules on Cable/Sat to allow direct stream recording and playback using a card for decryption like the DVB users seem to. <br>
