It doesn't change the fact that, yes, you are using MythTV wrong. Or,
at least, for something it is not primarily designed for.

I have to admit I'm stumped by the above. I don't understand the
connection between MythTV's Live TV and the need, or not, for another
cable box. This, I suppose, could tie into what Jean-Yves Avenard
wrote elsewhere in the thread:

This is in many ways the most-effective riposte to me and other anti
MythTV-Live TV posters; it is both logical and impossible to respond
to. So I'll stop now.
