[mythtv-users] Watching TV without recording?

Hi, new to Myth, got backend/frontend setup but still waiting on swedish 
tv_grab (yes, I saw the xmltv-devel post, but that attachment was 
incomplete :) ).

Anyway, my question is: why must myth record/encode/decode if all you're 
doing is watching TV? Would the delay from jumping to LiveTV Pause mode be 
unacceptably long? I'm asking because it seems strange to use 50-80% of 
the CPU to do something that XawTV and TVTime do automatically.

I know I can change the main menu "Watch TV" option to launch TVTime, or 
even add a new option, but that kinda defeats the purpose.
