Rewind Previous Channel

Post by desoto42a »

Hi,

I am new to this forum and didn't see this topic in my searches. Apologies if this has already been asked, but one feature that I really liked on my old DVR was the ability to rewind not only the current channel, but the previous channel as well. That is, the recording window remained when I changed to another channel. That way I could flip between two shows and rewind what I missed. Do MythTV have this same ability?

Thanks for any help.

You could try PiP (Picture in Picture) for this. Please note that this is quite CPU intensive though and may cause some problems like stuttering and jerkiness. MythTV records what you watch, and so you can skip ahead or back in programmes up to the point already recorded. Head here and then go down to the "Concurrent Channel Watching" heading for more details:

Hope that helps.
