Fwd: [mythtv] Fwd: Increased Network Traffic

[Geoffrey Kruse]

I am using the myth internal streaming, I have not tried nfs or samba, 
is it possible to use either of those on a ma frontend?  Also,  how 
would I go about analyzing the traffic to figure out what is taking up 
so much bandwidth?  Since the internal streaming is the easiest to set 
up it would be nice if it worked correctly.  It does the same thing on 
two different frontend  machines.
