</div>Exactly, Live TV is a contract between you and MythTV where you steal a<br>
tuner away from MythTV so you have full control over that tuner.<br>
Therefore, you can't have Live TV when all your tuners are otherwise<br>
busy--you have to watch recordings at that point (including the<br>
recording-in-progress that appears at the top of Watch Recordings).<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>since you worded it like that, it makes sense now :)<br>im still a bit confused over the 'multiplex' ability though. i can record 2 shows on 1 input IF they are on the same multiplex, but yet i cant liveTV watch and record the same channel, if i have an available multiplex channel?<br>
<br>fwiw, i record the 7h long British Touring Car. i tend to skip some races, as i primarily watch it for the actual BTCC race. race times are around 11.30am, 2pm, and 4.45pm. thats alot of fast forwarding when i'd expect to be able to able to watch the livetv feed on the available multiplex.<br>
