Quote:(which is painfully slow when changing channels -- is that largely the fault of the slow server?)With an analog capture device like a PVR500, live tv should take 3 - 4 seconds to change channels.
The MVP is really designed for playing files, and GB-PVR tricks it into playing live tv by playing recordings of different channels. Changing channels requires GB-PVR to stop the current recording, then start recording the new channel, and record a big enough chunk of that channel for the MVP to start playback. This type of stuff cant be instant, so you're never going to get the fast channel changes that you get on the PC using live preview mode.
