I agree here completely.

 From my point of view it's not just me (as a slightly nerdy bloke who 
built the system) but my wife and two tenants who watch Mythtv in my 
flat and if I had to say "sorry you can only watch things you've 
previously recorded" I'd be fighting quite a lot pressure to bring the 
old TV back, this idea does also limit it's use to the regular user 
who's chosen to record those particular programs. There are also a lot 
of things on the TV and I can't realistically record it all -  so there 
are many occasions when I get back and see something on TV which I 
decide to watch and even with the current 6 second delay I do miss 
channel hopping!
