Hi all,
It's not that bad on my G3 iBook 900Mhz, not running a recent CVS (about Nov when it all started working I think), but MPEG4 live TV is watchable. Watched the tennis for a couple of minutes on Wednesday. Recordings weren't watchable last time I tried, but they're RTJPEG and its 802.11b networking* so I'm not worried about that yet.
Don't drop the G3 yet :)

* It's actually a 22mbps D-Link bridge to D-Link router with the iBook on ethernet right now.

I thought as much, but how about MPEG-4 decoding? Isn't that less CPU-intensive? Has anyone tested performance for non-MPEG2 mythfrontend playback?
I did some very limited testing, and got a modest speed gain -- noticeable but not spectacular. IIRC that path was using Altivec routines for heavy lifting as well. So I wouldn't hold my breath, though I'd love to hear a G3 success story.
