Yeah. I think that crowd goes by another
name... "the developers".<br>

<div>Sure, many of them don't use it regularly...
there's also several developers who value live TV,
and have put many hours in to it to make it a very
usable feature over the last several releases. In
fact, several new Live TV enhancements have
already been commit to master and some of them
even backported to 0.27. The code for Live TV is
quite complex - if they didn't think it was worth
it, it would have been ripped out years ago so
they could focus exclusively on other stuff.<br>
<br>
In fact, a few key developers think it's silly
every time this "debate" comes up and use it
themselves - as do I. No one is forcing you to
use live tv, ever. I don't know why this always
turns in to something reminiscent of a political
or religious debate. <br>
<br>
People who use TV aren't "using it wrong" -
they're just "using it". Yes, that may be
different than the way you use it, but what good
does it do to ridicule? What's next, people who
make phone calls on smart phones are "doing it
wrong" because they should only use Text Messaging
or Email so they always "time-shit" their
conversations? :P<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Also, just wanted to mention that I
just watched Live TV for the last 2 hours as we had a a
handful of tornado's come through our state as I spent some
quality time in our basement with my family while the tornado
sirens blared outside. I figured real-time storm coverage was
better than setting up several manual recording rules on the
fly for the next few hours (for shows that were being
interrupted with non-stop storm coverage for 4+ hours now),
and then watching time-shifted Doppler radar of a storm that
was moving at 50-80MPH.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">I suppose there's still people that
would probably suggest I was "doing it wrong". :-/<br>
