Don't forget the people who DON'T want this functionality. I'm  
thrilled that LiveTV saves to the hard drive so when I start watching  
something I suddenly find interesting I can hit record and grab from  
the point I started watching, not just from the moment I hit record.  
To me, this is the most useful feature of using MythTV to watch "Live  
TV".
