buggy/neglected feature, for good reasons.  Occasionally people question
its value, and I have generally agreed with that.  I will offer a contrary
point of view now, and this is not a plea for any current "issues" to be
fixed soon, but just a reason for developers not to abandon it entirely.

losing basic functionality with minimal equipment setup (built-in TV
tuners).  To maintain what we have, we're eventually going to have to pay
for it, one way or the other.  But even the status quo doesn't give me all
the channels I pay for on all my TV's.  I've been thinking about this more,
as I just picked up an LG 22" LED-TV for the bedroom, to replace the last
old CRT, connected to (currently free) SD DTA.

well run Cat6 while I'm at it and put a new MythTV frontend there to use as
a set-top box.  But for that to work optimally, LiveTV functionality
(sourced from my HDHR Prime) that doesn't crash my system would be helpful.

Out of curiosity, what is the ticket number of the bug report for this live
TV crash? I don't remember seeing such a report recently.
