I'm not sure I'd call that a "big enhancement" to Myth. It could cause 
problems with recordings switching channels due to finger tweaking by other 
users.

Having the program a second or two closer to "live" is also no big deal, at 
least not to me.

If it were implemented, I'd like to see it selectable, as it might cause more 
problems than it solved. It might be desirable for some, and not for others.
