There doesn't appear to be support for seeking within files that are currently being recorded by Myth TV. This appears to be intentional as described in Rewind not working as unable to seek in a file being recorded by MythTV.
A lack of this functionality means that Live TV isn't as useful as it could be in the existing myth:// protocol support added by elupus.
One of the XBMC GSoC projects that alcoheca is working on is to provide One unified PVR/DVR/HTPC front-end (client GUI) that would likely also need XBMC to support seeking for Live TV from the recording current in progress in the PVR backend
I'm going to be upgrading to a Linux HTPC soon to watch digital terrestrial H264 720p broadcasts. This will (hopefully) all be done through XBMC and the current myth:// support until the GSoC project is further along. Not being able to rewind or skip backwards while watching Live TV will significantly decrease the WAF.
