1. I started watching live TV and after about 2 minutes paused it to leave the room.
2. When I came back after about 5 minutes, I un-paused it and watched for another 2 minutes.
3. At this point, a commercial came on, so I pressed Skip Forward. Myth actually went *backward* about 2-3 minutes, showing me stuff I had already watched.
4. I used Skip Fwd to go forward a bunch of times, which worked as I would expect (based on the weird position it was now in). However, when I advanced to what Myth thought was the end of the buffer (4 seconds behind), it was actually 2-3 *minutes* behind Live TV. I was able to continue watching just fine, however Myth continued with this skewed idea of what "live" was, always behind reality.
The only way I was able to clear it up was by quitting back to the menu and hitting Watch TV again.

I am running the CVS version from Feb 2, with the new ivtv code, on a dual tuner 250/350 system. I'm using the 350's TV-out, with ivtv 0.2.0-rc3f. (Tired of seeing this paragraph yet? :-) )
I have my skip forward/reverse times both set to 10 seconds.
Here's the problem:
1. Start watching live TV, and let it run for 20-30 seconds.
2. Press skip right. The position doesn't change, but the OSD appears, to confirm that we're only 1 second behind.
3. Now, press skip backward. The OSD says we're 12 seconds behind, not 10 or 11 as I would expect.
4. Press skip forward. The OSD now says 4 seconds behind. No amount of further pressing will get it back to 1 second behind. The video stops momentarily with each press, but stays 4 seconds behind.
So, I think the problem may be that the skip backward function isn't taking into account any latency in the process of actually repositioning the player. By the time it has repositioned, another second or two of real time has elapsed. (It seems like less than a second, though, so this is only a guess.)
Then, when skipping forward to what should be only a 1-second delay, the latency accumulates to 4 seconds instead. Allthough, that theory wouldn't explain why I can never get it to less than 4 seconds behind again.
I realize this is probably as clear as mud, so if you want more details, let me know.
