to just change channels and watch, sure.

try to rewind, skip back etc... then the hassle starts.

Also no easy way to access the current program information.

on my cable box, i press the i button and it shows the name of the
program, press i again and you have a nice summary.

all that information is there in mythtv, you just can't easily and
intuitively have access to it
