Really?!  That's nuts!  How do you stand that?  (the change between 
channels) In the PVR I have (and at least in the other providers in my 
area/country) you watch a live-stream until you pause, or rewind, then 
you're dealing with the MPEG-2 stream.  You're not ALWAYS watching a 
pre-recorded stream.  (even if it is being recorded at the same time)

I always wondered if this was possible with some of the cards used in Myth. 
Play the live-stream, and record it at the same time, and only jump to the 
recorded stream when you pause/rewind.  However, since I'm not a programmer, 
I wouldn't know if this was possible with the current drivers.  Heh.
