Neither. There isn't support for recording or changing channels on external
tuners.

"better" meaning "any soundcard that doesn't automatically play what it gets
on the line-in". I'm using the on-board sound on my motherboard, the NVidia
MCP or whatever it's called. I also said 'try alsa' since it may work as
well.

No, it's not possible that the echo is in mythtv.

The background images are part of the theme, if you wanted to extract that and
make a background. The redraw time is entirely in mythfrontend, the only
time you're changing programs is from mythfrontend->mythmusic.
