Is Myth able to watch channels and automatically change tuners now? I think that it wouldn't do this for me with MythTV 0.16 with a PVR350 and a Nexus-S - I think I had to manually press the t key on the [nonexistent] keyboard which kind of put a stop to channel surfing.

First of all, you'll have to watch commercials (blech!). Second, you have to deal with the pause between channels, not to mention the fact that your box is running hard for no reason, having to compress a video signal, write it to disk, read it from the disk, decompress it, and deliver the video output. 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 -- No virus found in this incoming message.
