But if we notify them with an option to exit Live TV and take them to 
the already-recorded episode, then they make the decision whether to 
continue channel surfing or whether to free up the tuner and watch the 
recording, and they and MythTV both know exactly what they want to do, 
and no one is ever surprised by the results.
