I take it you feel you're being discouraged in some way. I don't think
that's the intention - certainly not my intention anyway. We are just
pointing out that the devs simply don't consider this a high priority for
action, for the reasons some of us have listed. This debate has been done to
death multiple times here. No one has yet managed to come up with an
argument that has motivated any of the developers to improve it to your
satisfaction (though it has improved over time). So the fact is that unless
someone comes up with a patch the situation isn't going to change.

I understand that people who use MythTV love it for what it is however,

It's been considered and none of the developers have chosen to work on it.
Did you really feel you have a right to dictate priorities to the
developers?
