[LUG] Disabling time shifting on MythTV

 

Hi folks,

Any MythTV experts out there?

Hopefully someone might be able to advise if this is possible...

I've built up a MythTV box for the kids to use after their telly went bang.

It currently has two capture cards installed, one K-World PCI DVB card 
which supports Freeview and also analogue input via composite video, and 
a Pinnacle PCTV card which only supports analogue via a tuner, composite 
or S-Video input.

Anyway, I've managed to get the Freeview working (albeit with limited 
channels which I believe is down the the area I'm in).  Time shifting is 
working fine for Freeview as is the programme guide (I used the off the 
air programme guide) and scheduled recording (I was able to record 
Teletubbies ;-) )

What I'd like to do though is plug the kids games consoles and Freeview 
box into the analogue capture inputs on the analogue TV card.  Now this 
would be fine apart from the fact that due to time shifting, games 
consoles don't really work too great.

I wondered if it was possible to turn off time shifting on certain 
inputs, so that say if the kids have their games consoles plugged into 
the composite video input on the analogue card, it just displays the 
picture on the screen in realtime and disables pausing, fast forwarding 
and rewinding?

Ta,

Rob
