[QUOTE="bolders, post: 280444, member: 42721"] Hi Andy Sorry for the delay - life/work getting in the way...again :P When you say lag do you mean the delay between the actual transmission from ur sky box and the display in media portal or channel change times. I do have a difference in time between my NTL transmission and MP playing it which i believe is due to the TS buffer however as I run everything through MP it makes no difference as I effectively dont know whats happening at the output of the NTL box only what is happening in MP - usually this difference is only about a second anyway. Therefore the only thing that has any relevance to me is channel changing times which I have to say is very good. If I start live TV it takes about 4 - 6 seconds to initialize but once running channel changes are 2 seconds or less. However if I change a channel and it switches from my NTL box (analogue) to my DVB-T card channel change is about 3 - 4 seconds. One other thing to note if I change a channel on my NTL box it takes less than 2 seconds before the picture is displayed again but it takes about another 1 - 2 seconds for the new channel to be displayed. This is mainly due to the time it takes my NTL box to switch channels. Also how are you changing channels are you using channel up/ channel down or the epg. The channel up/ channel down option has got a delay built in but this is by design. All in all I have to say channel changing is working very well as is everything else at the moment :D bolders [/QUOTE]
