</div>Record it instead of watching it live.<br>
No, really.. if you want to keep something, press R(ecord) while<br>
watching it. It will be magically transformed into a regular recording.<br>

<br>I wouldn't worry about it too much but I figure, what's the point of recording Live TV (beyond what is necessary to pause or rewind to watch something you missed) if it's just going to get deleted one minute after you exit Live TV.<br>
