[mythtv-users] Freevo, Tivo & MythTV

[Chris Ribe]

It occurs to me that there are different types of buffering for
different reasons being discussed here.

If your frontend and backend are cohosted, there is no reason that
Myth channel changes can't be every bit as quick as xawtv or tvtime
channel changes.

If your frontend and backend are separated by a network, then there is
no avoiding the waiting - without introducing skipping and dropped
frames and all sorts of decoder unhappiness.
