Pity, I can run all of these things concurrently: 1. tvtime watching live TV (no audio though) 2. cat /dev/video1 >mpg (or using mplayer and reading the input) I get good video and audio 3. azap -r WABC-DT (and streaming ATSC or QAM). I can't say I've tried MythTV, I haven't. - Steve _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
