I get where you're coming from. I just like to occasionally have a baseball game on in realtime in a PIP window while watching a recorded program.

Many people who use Myth stop watching live TV altogether, and I am amazed that the desire would remain to watch _two_ live TVs. But indeed, it might be a CPU problem since nobody has written yet a "clever" mpeg decoder which knows it is decoding for a tiny size and thus avoids the cpu load of decoding for full size and rescaling. A number of people are interested in such a decoder, since it would allow some people with older processors to watch HDTV recordings on their SDTVs. Still SDTV, but a fair bit better than NTSC recording. The EyeTV program for the Mac has such a clever decoder, so it is possible.
