As of the latest SVN, this is the way it works, you never see the files 
unless you have watched for more than a certain amount of time (not sure 
what that is off hand). He didn't mention what revision he is running, 
so it's hard to say in his case. Regardless, Isaac has said numerous 
times that the LiveTV rewrite is not done yet, and there are a bunch of 
open tickets in Trac, so complaining about it isn't going to change 
anything, at this point, especially if you aren't current on -dev and 
-commit.
