I missed this email the first time round, The tv.livepause plugin experimentally supports live pausing IVTV with display via mplayer. There does appear to be some issue though if you do anything major with the disk that is being used as the buffer (ie unzip, apt-get update, yum update etc. Run 'freevo plugins - -i tv.plugins.livepause' for more details on how to setup the plugin.
