It is not about possibility, but if you go back far enough (years and
years), you will find that most MythTV users do not *ever* watch live TV.
Now, now, I know that is a big WAF for some, but it is free software and
developers want to work on their own passion portions of the code, so at
the same time ; it is what it is :)

There have been so many conversations regarding this in the past, I could
turn blue counting them without taking a breath in between numbers.

Presonally, when I first started using MythTV, I thought it was kind of
crazy too.  But I have to say that I have not desired to watch live TV in
several years myself now.

Hell, with HDDs so cheap, I have terabytes of unwatched crap just piling
up..  I know it is all opinionated, but it seems to be the normal
progression here.
