That's what it does at the moment...  I strictly leave livetv mode 
whenever I turn the TV off (I don't want it using all ym CPU time and 
heating my room up when I'm not watching tv). It's annoying to have a 
popup box appear in the middle of what you're watching if you consider 
livetv more important than something that you're recording.  And last 
night it was even more annoying because what I was watching on live tv had 
been paused for about 5 minutes, the box popped up and I told it to cancel 
the recording but it just went ahead and did it anyway (I'll have to try 
and reproduce that problem) - ok so I cancelled the recording immediately 
and went back to liveTV but obviously it had lost the 5 minutes of the 
program that were buffered :(
