I hope to move the TS demuxing also to my addon to speedup the channel switching, but that will take some effort...

I would love to add the TS demuxer code to the MythTV addon too as it would improve the channel switching time here also (from what I can see in the log ffmpeg needs ~4-5 MB worth of data before starting the decoding). So I hope your code will be sufficient generic to be used in my addon.

If there's anything code wise I can help with like the TS demuxing please let me know what your requirements are (inputs, outputs, api's that sort of thing).

I just received a letter from my cable company telling us that their analog service will be shut off in a month. Long story short I need working LiveTV and at least scheduled recording capability. 10+ second channel changes don't fly with the wife. I have a SiliconDust HDHR Prime (cablecard) and right now I can record stuff via MythWeb.
