Glad to hear that the waf factor is doing well, it helps to NOT have an 
existing TiVo you are trying to replace...

After reading the whole thread so far, no one mentioned that one of the 
great features of having a PVR is that you shouldn't really need to watch 
liveTV all that often.  I can understand with wanting to play initially 
with the liveTV support, and I did on my TiVo as well when I first got it.  
But the reality of the situation is that you'll learn that you just tell 
it to record a bunch of shows, then when you want to watch TV, you'll head 
right to the recordings screen to see what is available.  This is why when 
you press the TiVo button on the TiVo remote it takes you to the Now 
Playing section instead of LiveTV.  One thing I have yet to change on my 
MythTV install is putting the Watch Recordings option first in the list, 
instead of third, and move LiveTV to the bottom of the list.

As you get more into letting the PVR free you from TV schedules you'll see 
what I mean.
