There's no longer a separate location for LiveTV.  Instead, LiveTV is
recorded into your recordings directory (RecordFilePrefix), so you can
decide to keep any or all of the shows you watched in LiveTV.  So, you
no longer have a choice--your LiveTV "buffer" is in your "normal"
recordings partition--and you'll probably want to find another use for
your 10GB LiveTV partition.
