I couldn't tell if if you fully understand, so I'm mentioning it just in 
case...  The "last tuned channel" is not necessarily the last channel 
you watched in LiveTV.  If a recording has occurred on that tuner since 
you last watched LiveTV, you'll get the channel on which the show was 
recorded.

Also, each tuner has its own last tuned channel, so if you end up on a 
different tuner when you restart LiveTV, you may get a different channel.
