What a user needs is very different depending on which country you live in. I don't agree with 99%. Not having subtitles for most of my channels is not only a 1% problem.
And MythTV Frontend is not very unfriendly if you use it for LiveTV. Many other things is complicated with MythTV Frontend, but when you have it setup and start LiveTV it is like any other functional PVR. With support for watching in progress recordings and correct length of the recording, and support for all kinds of subtitles, and a proper display of timeshift buffer when used.
All other parts can't compare to Kodi.
But this isn't about bashing one or the other solution. It is/was about my hopes that Kodi would be as superior in the PVR sections as it is in everything else. And with the recent explanations from janbar it feels like it will never happen. Maybe mostly depending on that Kodi must work with many different backends. But that is just how things are.
