Yes. Live TV takes the TV signal, buffers it, encodes it (if it's a bt8x8 card) and then writes it to disk. That all means that Live TV is ~ 3 seconds behind the actual broadcast. Because there's a buffer you can pause/rewind/fforward etc. Regards, Phill _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
