Nor would any of the developers. It's a PVR, that implies buffering.
I agree. Not sure that all of the other users in my house agree, though.
Then they would be wrong. :-p Seriously, name a PVR that DOESN'T buffer.
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?
Even when sitting down to discover something new one still wants the
ability to pause / rewind live TV. I guarantee you that users will
bitch that they couldn't rewind something when they had to walk away for
a second during live TV or that they missed .25 seconds of video when
they paused because it wasn't recording.
When I'm using my Myth box I expect it to perform at LEAST as well as my
Tivo did years ago. What you're proposing is a HUGE step back in
functionality. One of the major features of a PVR is the ability to
rewind live tv.
And I agree with you again. 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
Then they can write the code...
