It’s not any more, which is what Jean-Yves is referring to. There are separate files for each programme, which I believe makes recording a whole programme from live TV easier/possible. They’re stored in the LiveTV recording group, if you want to see them. I believe there’s also a setting to change how long the files hang around for after you’ve exited live TV.

While you’re in live TV, the backend will create new files for each programme as it starts, but the player will display them all *as if* they were one long file, selecting the correct file when a new programme starts or when you seek across a programme boundary.

I can’t remember if it changed in 0.27 or at some point before.
