I'll agree on using the Apple player as well.  I probably wouldn't touch
LiveTV with this at all, so losing the ability to change channels during
playback is not a real loss to me.  One of the items on my (very) long TODO
list is to allow storing multiple files per recording entry.  This would
allow storing a pre-encoded file in the right format for playing with the
Apple player.  That could be copied to the iPod/iPhone or streamed using
your app.  Now that I have my own 16GB Touch the multi-file feature is
moving up in priority on my TODO so I can keep some pre-encoded shows
around.
