[mythtv-users] Can MythTV play a scheduled recording while it isrecording?

[Mark Winder]

Yes you can.
As soon as the recording starts it appears in the list of playable
recordings and you can play it.
I also have a TiVo and the blur that Tivo makes between live and recorded TV
is not quite so complete complete
in Myth as in Tivo, but its pretty good.
