[mythtv-users] LiveTV question

[Jon]

I don't think I understand. Like have it call a standard tv playing  
program up? That's not what I'm looking for exactly. I want the  
program guide data to still be populated, and linked to the card. I  
just want myth to know, UNLESS I specify, DON'T use this card. When  
live TV is being watched, I still want it to act as a pvr device,  
with the record and rewind and pause and whatnot, I just don't want  
anything to be scheduled on it. If this isn't possible, fine, I'll  
just lower the priority some more, and try and get them damn people  
to schedule what they want to watch. We fight over the TV a lot. Myth  
allows me to watch tv the way I want to, I.E. When I am ready to  
watch a show, it's there. They tend to be more of the devour every  
available second of TV footage kind of watchers, and it drives me up  
the wall... Primarily because whenever I go to watch something,  
everyone else has already seen it (and then I'm the bad guy for  
wanting to see something they already saw, but that's another issue)

So, I guess I could just remove the card completely, and tell them  
they're not allowed to watch live tv anymore. then I can add a TV  
timer. give them no more than 2 or 3 hours of TV a day. bwahaha.  
that'll teach them. Stupid couch potatoes.
