I agree. Not sure that all of the other users in my house agree, though. > We've had a PVR since the first Tivos hit the shelves we still use live > tv. We don't *want* to record everything. Sometimes we like to sit > down and discover something new. Yes, exactly. What this implies, at least for some users, is that it is not useful to be always recording everything when all one wants to do is "sit down and discover something new". So why not have a mode that avoids the overhead of recording in this case? Note that we also have a first-generation Tivo in our house (only recently decommissioned), and I always thought that the Tivo also should have had a non-recording (aka channel-surfing) live TV mode... > When I'm using my Myth box I expect it to perform at LEAST as well as my > Tivo did years ago.

But I am asserting that there are other users who wouldn't miss the ability to rewind live TV during channel-surfing, and furthermore wouldn't mind having to hit a record button on the remote control in order to "turn on" the PVR functionality.
