LiveTV is a very useful feature (that I use all the time), in a couple of circumstances: 1. I don't really want to record the show - I'll watch it if I catch it, but I don't want to deal with the hassle of deleting the unwatched recording 2. I'm kind of bored, and not necessarily looking for something in particular to watch.
Note that in (2), I don't even try to channel surf - I mean, that's what having a program guide is for, right? I use LiveTV several times per week, in fact, I'm using it right now. Mind you, the TV is pretty much background noise as I type this. :) -- Joe --- "J.
