Everything you watch on LiveTv is recorded, although by default these
recordings are hidden from the 'Watch Recordings' list.

In the 'Watch Recordings' page press 'menu' and you should be able to
change the filter to see your LiveTv Recordings.  By default they
auto-expire pretty quickly but you can select recordings you want to
keep and change their properties.

LiveTv won't have recorded the start of the programme of course,
unless you watched it from the start.

As another poster mentioned, if you press 'R' while watching LiveTv
MythTv will create a regular recording of the programme.
