There's no such mechanism. Live TV doesn't really fit in to the current HLS streaming architecture where it HLS-izes a file in one shot from start to finish. A future change is planned where myth pretends all programs have been HLS transcoded and then creates segments on the fly as clients request them. Live TV support will probably shake out as a side effect of that code but who knows when it'll arrive.
