On a fast machine using a decent filesystem there's not much of a delay. That being said, traditional channel surfing, where one hits chan up/down repeatedly is silly on a Myth box since you *know* whats on the other channels by using the guide. Find a show that interests you then then change the channel to it, don't change the channel looking for a show. Then again, I used DirectTV and Tivo for so long that I grew acusstomed to the paradigm. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
