1) but I havent seen a good TV viewer program for the desktop.
I use MythTV but have it resized to run in a 640x480 window rather
than take the full screen. That's closer to what you want, but you're
still not going to get the responsiveness you're looking for I think.
2) I would like to be able to switch channels faster. Right now running
0.3.6s it takes ~4 sec to change the channel. I am a channel flipper. I
need fast channel changes. I should have probably done more research on this
before buying the pvr-500, but Im here now. :)
This is largely a MythTV problem. If you're using mplayer and
ptune.pl, you'll see that changing frequencies is actually pretty quick
(although sometimes my mplayer slowly gets behind making it seem to take
longer the longer I watch). Myth runs a few seconds behind always, plus
does a lot of extra work to switch channels like pausing and resetting.
Even with a version that I've hacked which just does a frequency
control, I'm still looking at 2+ seconds per channel due to the
prebuffer. I'm looking at ways to eliminate that as well.
3) Lastly I was wondering if it is possible to shrink the size of the image to
a smaller window. I think this is what is being discussed (and developed) in
the threads about YUV, but Im not exactly sure thats what YUV is.
Yeah that's just for the PVR350's tv out, mplayer will let you
change the window size, or use mythtv's settings to run it in a window.
