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

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>
