Post subject:  pvr-250 input question and delayed live tv

I'm having a problem with mythtv-setup not changing the default input to what I say for it to be. No matter what I choose, unless I test_ioctl -p to manually do it, it doesn't change. Right now I have a script running in the background that runs test_ioctl -p every second, but that's a horrible way to make it work.

Also, what is a normal amount of delay between the live signal and it's display on the 250? Mine is never less than 5 seconds, and most of the time higher (>15). I thought my test_ioctl script might be causing it, but it lags even without it. I'm controlling a directv box through a serial cable, and it's slightly distracting for channel changes to take 15 seconds (or more) :wink:

Specs
PIII 1GHz
512 MB Ram
Geforce4 MX 64MB
SBLive! 5.1
Hauppauge PVR-250

Any help/insight would be much appreciated!

I haven't actually timed mine, but I would say no more than 10sec on the outside, but then again I am on analog cable no irblaster or serial or anything like that to add latency.
