John is right. That is exactly what I meant. I think a more viable
solution would be for the pvr functions to only kick in if a capture
source is available. Otherwise, it should play live TV without the pvr
functions and maybe display a message informing the viewer.

I was thinking he meant not running the live tv to disk 9"recording")
you lose the PVR functions, but you have a fully functional TV
otherwise. I can see a use for this. Especially if the Myth box acts as
a computer and entertainment box in the study.
It was discussed earlier to reduce the delay in changing channels for
someone. I'm betting that is what the link to the gossamer threads is
very high up. It's not a terrible idea, just one I don't think anyone is
going to take the time implement.
Add an EXEC command (or EXEC_TV/TV_EXEC I don't remember which) to your
menu that spawns tvtime or xawtv or any such program to watch TV. The
special EXEC will mark the tuner as in use and you get TV without an PVR
functionality.
