[mythtv-users] 0.19 LiveTV slow to start

[James Dastrup]

Everything working pretty well for me with the new version, except it
now takes about 15 seconds from when you click 'Watch TV' to when the
picture appears. Also interesting, I get TWO LiveTV recordings: the
first is junk - just a black picture for a couple seconds, and the
second recording is the valid video. Both recordings show up in the
LiveTV group (no, I'm not complaining that they show up, I understand
how LiveTV works now. I'm just trying to figure out why I get the first
junk recording.)

Anyone else seeing this?  I'm using a pcHDTV 3000 with OTA signal. All
my hardware was previously used with 0.18 and it worked fine, except for
a few prebuffering pauses during the OSD. Below is the mythfrontend
output from when I click Watch TV to when the video plays.
