You still can do that exactly the way you are doing now. Not routing the
signal through the mythbox. My wife does it all the time. So we don't
use the live tv capabilities (except for the odd film we want to watch
at the time of the actual broadcast, which is not that often. It's more
likely I'll record it and we'll view it while recording or afterwards)
So you can use it like a smart vcr. You don't watch TV via your vcr
right now, do you? :-)
