<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently pointed out the obvious inconsistency on
the main list - that Live TV is the first and main option usually presented to
the user, which is inconsistent and misleading to the new user. Apparently
the right people are aware of this dichotomy. I understand someone
(possibly JYA?) is skilled enough and interested enough in this feature, so it
may be that the bugs there get some attention (I welcome and support his recent
re-alignment) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The bounds between Live TV and reducing ones weight
(as described below) are interesting, as soon as one introduces a pause we are
no longer talking about live TV, however as best I can tell the dev's recent
interest has been replaying COMPLETELY recorded programs, and not mere paused
Live TV. I hope I have read this wrongly here! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The HDHomerun is a good option for distributed Live
HD TV, however pausing it is an issue....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>One of the general things you will find about mythtv devs is that
they don't care much for livetv "thats not how its designed to be used,
record what you want to watch and watch it when you have the time, its a
new paradigm, change your life forever blah blah
blah."<BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV><BR>It's not that the devs don't care about it, it's just that they
don't use it. So they don't see the issues that some people seem to have and
don't fix them. If the issues were consistent I'm sure that they'd get
attention, but them seem to only affect certain setups and don't seem to be
that easy to diagnose.<BR><BR>Ultimately the nature of open source is this:
if you want it fixed you either have to fix it yourself or find someone who
already cares about it and can fix it. You'll struggle to convince anyone
that a feature they don't use is important enough to them to put much effort
in.<BR><BR>The other point I'd make is that if you don't care about the "new
paradigm", if Live TV is your main thing, then you're probably better off
with a MySky box or another good PVR. Live TV is simply not one of MythTVs
strengths. If you must have MythTV then it'll annoy you less if you make a
conscious effort to adopt the paradigm and forget about LiveTV and to
convince the other users in your household to do the same. There are good
advantages to recording, even if you watch while it's recording: commercial
skipping and time stretch are the obvious biggies. </DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
