[QUOTE="Chris Melville, post: 1237299, member: 159517"] I just tried it with the MediaPortal client. 7 seconds - and actually about the same as with Kodi, as my "8 seconds" was an estimate. Therefore no real difference. From a purely technical point of view, I was wondering why serving out a direct TV stream would be difficult ("certain aspects of the architectural design do make it difficult"). Common sense suggests that it would be easier than timeshifting, because timeshifting requires a whole bunch of additional steps: opening a file, starting to write the data stream to the file, working out where the "live point" is, then reading from the file and re-serving out the data stream to the network. Surely to simply serve the stream out from the hardware to the network, bypassing the buffer file altogether, would save some steps and would be easier, no? I'd be fascinated to understand more! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
