My sat.reciever has much quicker channel changes than MythTV and it has PVR abilities and is Linux based. It's a Dreambox. Is really "tune the channel" an issue at all? Doesn't the tuner do that almost instantly? I love Myth but I really do think that channel changing times are tooo long. At 18:4

Re: [mythtv-users] Channel Hopping

One thing I don't understand is why we have a delay between starting to write to the ringbuffer and displaying to the screen. Isn't it possible to stream directly from the tuner to the frontend while writing to the ringbuffer at the same time, and then only switch to reading data from the ringbuff

Re: [mythtv-users] Channel Hopping

Folks, It might be nice to have a settable ringbuffer delay. So if it is set to 10 seconds, for example, it would tune the channel and then not start the ringbuffer for 10 seconds. If you changed the channel before the delay was over the channel change would be quick. Even if it was

  Whatwould be nice in the guide mode is if you couldenter the channel number in and jump right to that point in the guide.   I'm pretty sure that you can do that if you set the right option...  ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http:
