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.
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.

New Agent: All right, people, I'm in charge now and we will find the terrorists. Jarvis, I want you to check for any terrorist chatter on AOL. Marley and Greggs, try searching for nuclear devices on askjeeves.com. Kyle: Ask Jeeves? Nobody uses Ask Jeeves! Just Google-search it! New Agent: Are you tellin' me how to do my job? Kyle: Yes. There's a Russian guy named Vladimir Stolfsky who's got search engine hits all over this thing. New Agent: Chase, search the name Stolfsky on YouTube and cross-reference it with JDate! Chase: Checking. Stan: Look, these Russian guys all have blogs talking about this like it's just some big diversion for something much bigger! Female Agent 2: Sir, these kids are right. We've just received intel that Russian terrorists are believed to be responsible for the threat. New Agent: Where's the intel from? Female Agent 2: We just read it on Drudge Report. Kyle: Look, we already have the guy's blog. Maybe we can find an address and check it out on MapQuest. New Agent: We do this my way! I'm the one in charge! Kyle: [he and Stan look at each other]...Not anymore you're not. New Agent: Oh, snap.
Customer: Something's wrong, my computer's not acting right. Tier1 Customer Support: Ok sir, I'd be happy to help you with that. Firstly, do you have the latest Microsoft Virus(tm) installed? Customer: Yes. Tier1 Customer Support: OK, do you have an Antivirus installed? Customer: Yes. Tier1 Customer Support: Ah, that's the problem. You'll need to remove the Antivirus in order for the Virus to function correctly. It's not safe these days to be running without the latest Virii!
You could use something like http://www.autopatcher.com/ to bring yourself up to date.
And sure, reinstalling windows would make your Linux inaccessible, but a simple grub reinstall (or alternatively using ntldr to boot linux) isn't too tough...
...until some jackass posts a link to the files netapi32.dll and lsasrv.dll under the guise of a fix for these systems, but he has ACTUALLY infected with the backdoor.haxdoor virus?

CD? XBMCBuntu does not have an ARM build (yet). We're talking embedded here.
Hassle-free meaning: Buy some hardware, take it out of the box, open up Google Play, Search for XBMC, install. That will be the reality soon.
XBMC on embedded Linux is my preference, and it's where I spend most of my time. But it's hardly that simple.
Well that didn't take long...
Check out the bottom of their site. http://www.kootol.com/Default.html .
"just the patches" would be nice. But a diff doesn't give you that. It gives you a monolithic patch with no history or context.
You might want to read that sentence again.
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

Software evolution? Heresy!
Linux was created in six days by the almighty Linus. On the seventh day he rested as it compiled.

Let's just look at Microsoft's code and compare that to the opensource code.
Oh... Right.
Yea, that'd be the "modem".
