I have a Hauppage PVR 250, using the ivtv drivers on the backend. So live TV is mpeg2. Live TV is a lot jerkier than watching recorded shows. Whereas with LiveTV I get a jerk every 20 seconds, with recorded TV it's more like once every 60 seconds. Both suck, but Live TV sucks 3 times more right now :-) > Anyway, the longer cache that mplayer uses could mask a problem with > your network.

Here's the frontend: cupu:/home/rbm# mii-tool eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok And the backend: cyborg:/home/rbm# mii-tool eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok Both seem to be on full duplex. Anything else I should do to make sure that's the case? > What version are you running?
