Of course.. But this was in response to your suggestion that the
channel-change warning can go away. I was pointing out that no, it
can't (nor should it).

I would certainly be happy with the scheduler being smarter and
auto-adjusting the recordings around livetv, too.. But again, we're
talking about two separate issues, the ringbuffer clear and the livetv
scheduler.
