I've got another question about using the Xbox as a frontend: If I am recording HDTV on my backend server, can I watch the program live on my EDTV using the Xbox as the frontend? Or do I need to transcode the HDTV recording to 480(p) before I can play it on the Xbox? If the later is the case, this will eliminate my ability to pause, rewind and fast forward live tv. I like the Xbox solution because of its low cost, small form factor, and the fact that you get an Xbox too boot, but basic PVR functions take precedence. Let me know if you have any thoughts. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
