    I was seeing this last night too, running r7972.  I ended up with 20 
or so live-tv recordings that were still there this morning.  I exited 
by hitting escape on livetv, escape on the main menu, then selected yes 
to exit.  I was going in and out a lot as I was trying to track down why 
I couldn't seek forward / back. 

    Some did go away, because I was on a lot of channels I don't show 
livetv recordings for.  Maybe it only left the file from the channel I 
exited from?  I can't say with any certainty.

    On the last program I was watching, I hit R to have myth record the 
whole thing and then exited livetv.  The recording stopped when I left 
livetv, but it was moved to the default program group.  That's something 
else altogether though.

    So what defines their lifetime?  Is the autoexpire of "long" livetv 
files scheduled differently than short files?  I'm just curious, I can 
look it up in the source if you don't want to answer that.
