play saved mpeg

[aSkobs]

can you play a saved mpeg2 while recording something else on tv. also when the recording is going on i dont want the cpu to decode the video. is the software compatible with this?

Yes, you can watch a previously recorded show while recording another.

SageTV can also record video without decoding.

Any chance on getting TV Viewing w/o recording? I know this would eleminate pause/skip back, but I'd

love to be able to turn the smart features on/off.
