</div>If it's beside the point, why mention it? I'm not trying to "convince<br>
people who don't use Live TV that [my] way is the best way"; on the<br>
contrary, I'm trying to keep people from knocking LiveTV (and the<br>
people who are using it or trying to use it) nearly every time<br>
somebody asks a question about it.<br>
<div></div></blockquote><div><br>I think the REAL point is that mythtv is a hobbyist program. LiveTV does not get much attention because (from comments made) the primary developers do not use it much/at all. That means that not much time will be spent on enhancing it. To MOST people (myself included) the big changes to make LiveTV the "same" as recorded tv was a huge step forward.<br>
<br>I'm sure that if someone came forward with a bunch of patches that fixed livetv to be more robust then they would be welcomed (see the "browse" patches that recently went into trunk). <br></div></div><br>
