Well I have been meaning to pull out the hard drive as it might be  
useful.

Other than that, my old TiVo is quite literally holding down my stack  
of newspapers waiting to be re-cycled, so they don't blow around when  
I open the garage door.

Honestly, if the live-TV feature of Myth were to go away completely  
it would not bother me at all. With the possible exception of live  
sporting events I can't think of any reason for wanting it.

Most TV sets have multiple inputs, so if you really wanted to watch  
live TV you could do so easily, and the slight delay in changing  
channels in the Myth live mode is not a big deal unless you are a  
chronic channel-surfer.
