</div>Fair enough. However, sometimes users really are wrong. Firefox's<br>
awesomebar, for example: I griped about the bloat when it first came<br>
out, but now I love the awesomebar and use it all the time.<br>
<br>
Your point is well taken, however. I agree that all too often, we are<br>
forced to work around or settle for sub-par software. But there are<br>
sometimes two sides to that coin.<br>

</div>Ok, that may be a source of confusion. When I say LiveTV, I mean<br>
hitting "Watch TV" from the homescreen. This is the feature that seems<br>
to be um, somewhat "neglected" and/or even "discouraged" by (some of)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I do this all the time, hit "Watch TV". I guess I am one of the users that are wrong. I use a HDHR Prime with 1 cable-card, rented for $1 per month. Now, I have frontends streaming it to multiple TVs, saving me rental fees for the individual cable boxes. When I just want to watch sometime for a few mins, I usually just hit WatchTV and actually watch it. No, I don't want to record the show and I'll never watch it again later. I just want to consume the show immediately, then forget about it. I also change channels while watching. Is that wrong/discourage also?</div>
<div><br></div><div>One another note, I sometimes wonder what the benefit of the mythtvfrontend is if the sole purpose of mythtv is watching recorded shows. I could do the same with a combination of running just the mythbackend with xbmc/myth-plugin as the frontend. Also the xbmc/myth-plugin can watch live-tv, schedule recordings! Also xbmc just like mythfrontend will do weather/music/pictures/videos/etc. My other set top boxes like asus/wd will do DLNA and stream the recorded show from mythbackend.</div>

the devs (and myself ;) ). If I'm not mistaken, watching a program<br>
from "Recordings" that happens to still be recording is a rather<br>
different internal codepath for the FE player and should be<br>
rock-stable. Sounds like the problem here is in the BE.<br>
<br>
I re-read the first post and indeed it does mention in-progress,<br>
previously-scheduled recordings having problems, so I find that very<br>
disquieting. I hope the issues can be addressed soon.<br>
