It wasn't mentioned, but if you had a DVD-R drive in your machine, it would
be nice to be able to record to DVD.  I'm no coder by any stretch of the
mind, but this would be an awesome addition to Mythtv.

Any takers?

Yeah, you're right.  I suppose the "live" part is a little silly.  But I
think my other points are valid (the part of the e-mail you snipped out!).
I think a convergence box isn't fully realized without DVD integration
(IMO).
