i am sorry, but all your arguments are plain ludicrous.
the useability improovement to have a timeshift buffer where i can just pause livetv and/or go a couple of minutes back because i missed something,
was the main reason for me to actualy use and HTPC it for watching tv.
if you dont need that, then you dont need an HTPC imo.
if you can not affort the additional electricity bill of lets say €1,- per year (if HTPC is online 24/7), which is cause by the HDD which needs "more power" because its used for the timeshift buffer, then i doubt that you can affort an HTPC at all.
but if you are from green peace and want to "save earth", then setup a ramdisc and store the timeshiftbuffer there.

noone forces you to use the TV-Server.
if you dont like it, dont install it and just continue to use the inbuild engine of 1.0 RC1.
