That's a fallacy. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that everyone
uses a PVR the same way you do. Live TV doesn't go away for a large
number of users.
But with Browse mode, LiveTV "channel surfing" is pretty much
unnecessary. The original complaint was because it takes time to
switch channels. You don't need to switch channels to know what is on
a given channel so when you do find one that is interesting, the 2
seconds it takes to change to that channel is far less of a problem
than eating that 2 seconds with every change without browse mode.
That's kind of the point we've tried to make to everyone who suggests
this "no buffering live tv" mode.
Live TV isn't the problem. Hitting chan up/down repeatedly when there
are 2 different ways to see what's on the channels and watch it is.
