Hi,

i think your idea could be extended. Why not use this x gb ringbuffer
permanently and then set the card to transfermode all the time, so you
could pause live tv right away without first switching to transfer mode,
and also even baetter you can rewind live tv, which normaly is not
possible, since you normaly dont know that an interesting scene will
show up in advance.
