Are you serious or am I just missing the sarcasm?
User requests updates, server checks license and notes IP. How is there a conspiracy here?

I'd rather have an long term infrastructure with intelligent design.
I'm pretty sure those were just the mockups. Here's the real thing: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/04/screen-grabs-linksys-internet.jpg
The BBC has quietly updated its hugely popular iPlayer with a verification layer that closes the door on open source implementations of RTMP (real-time messaging protocol) streaming, The Register has learned.
To me, this is utterly baffling. SWF verification makes absolutely no difference to tools designed to cirvumvent the BBC's copy protection methods (get_iplayer works fine).
All it has done is alienated the creators of some very slick iplayer apps.
Needless to say im withdrawing my TV license

It doesn't solve the problem, but on your own stuff you can just do it yourself. We just do a simple redirect, and get the benefit of tagging an analytics campaign as well.

All fair points.
For one, you are correct about the Live TV support. One of the benefits of having such a large community is that we get a multitude of third-party plugins, scripts, skins, etc. That is also a problem in itself though, because they are often half-finished and poorly implemented. The MythTV frontend is such an example, though it has recently been picked up an greatly improved by our own dtierney.
The DVR rewrite is much more than that, it is an entire add-on framework that makes development more modular. It is being designed as a 'pvr-frontend' solution, one that you can hookup to one of many backends. There's no reason to rewrite what's already been done.
Your baby is ugly too! Really, though, the XBMC skinning engine is so powerful that simply diving in and changing a few things isn't exactly easy. That's also why we've drawn the interests of so many talented skinners and modders, the possibilities are endless. So it's a trade-off.
Currently Live TV certainly isn't what XBMC is known for, but it certainly excels as the face of your media library. We hope to improve that as time goes.
Sorry to hijack. Congratulations to the Myth devs on your release.

Maybe change your sig to: Error 451: Sarcasm not detected...
You should try asking them for money, otherwise you'll never be recognized as a legitimate religion.
