sub,
I'm interested in improving my Live TV time-shifting performance, I suppose cost vs. benefit is a big factor. Just a quick question about the internal temp cache for the Live TV Buffer...
GB-PVR had almost an "instant on" for Live TV, NPVR has a 4-5 second delay for starting live TV and changing channels.
I'd like to know how the buffer "behaves" if it runs out of drive space. I'm thinking that time-shifting will be a whole lot faster if I used a RAM disk. We don't pause an entire show, we'll pause and maybe get a commercial or two behind. 1 GB or 2 in a RAM disk would probably be plenty, and RAM is cheap. I can just set it up and point the Live TV buffer at the driver letter.
The question, of course, is what happens if it DOES fill up. With NPVR handle that in a graceful manner?
Am I overlooking something else, without all the above, that would increase that performance easily?
