I have a similar situation with my Sky + box being used for live TV
most of the time. The way I've got around this is to have the
Channel Change Script check a control file to see if it is OK to
change channel or not (in my case it's only OK if it's changing
channel in order to record a program, not if it's a "live TV"
channel change). You could easily modify your channel change script
to check the Time of Day, or, if you wanted to be able to do the
same as me you can use the "Recording Pending" event to set the flag
in a control file. The "Recording Pending" event is triggered about
3 or 4 time in the minute or two before the recording is due to
start, you can't use the "Recording Started" event (as would seem to
be the obvious trigger to use) because it is triggered even when
Live TV is started.<br>
