Well, like I said in my first response, sounds like in order to lose 
multiple programs to autoexpire rather than one, he'd need quite a 
backlog of unwatched programs that it would be tough to get caught up on 
anyway.  So it probably isn't likely to be a problem to most people.  
But losing 5 or 6 programs when you used to lose none, or at worst 1, is 
a significant difference in this guy's case.  So I can see his point of 
view.

Perhaps it depends on the cable system.  Comcast here has music channels 
that display pictures and info about the artist that updates five or six 
times during the song.  Depending on your tuning method, especially if 
you are bringing SVideo into a capture card, I don't see why it wouldn't 
capture just like any other source.  Zap2It lists these channels in its 
guide data (but I don't know if the listings actually look the same as 
regular TV as I don't have those channels selected in my setup).

I've lost track, and wasn't sure if this poster or another suggested that.

Quite frankly, LiveTV is something I could live without entirely.  But 
the WAF would drop, so...
