Yep.

If someone wants it fixed, tracking down the issue and submitting a
patch is probably the best approach. Few volunteers enjoy spending
their free time working on features that they don't use (and, for most
devs, LiveTV is just such a feature).

The difference is that Myth has autoexpire and you can set it to keep
only the last 2 Dora episodes or whatever...

They need to learn to watch TV on their schedule, not the network's
schedule+up-to-30... :)
