it would be an optional feature. so nobody is taking that away from you. And I agreed that the default mode should be what it is now.

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".
