The fundamental difference is that people who don't use LiveTV don't 
understand your, "good enough to record," comment.  You have space.  
Empty space is useless.  Fill it up with anything you might possible 
ever consider watching and let MythTV expire the stuff you're least 
interested in watching.  Then, /every/ time you sit down (at any time of 
day/night) with some free time and a wish to escape reality, you have 
something available to watch and you're almost guaranteed to have 
something better than what's currently airing (or, if not, you have an 
in-progress recording of whatever is better that's currently airing that 
you can watch).

Of course this doesn't help people who don't actually care to watch TV, 
but would rather spend a few hours of playing the "what /else/ is on" 
lottery to see if they might stumble across the end of something that 
they /should/ have recorded.

Unused storage on a DVR system is a waste.
