Assuming the longest program in that 3-day period is 24-hours, you'd 
have the exact same result as leaving it on only for the period spanning 
that 24-hour program.  In other words, the only way to get a long LiveTV 
recording is if your guide data says it's a long program...  Once the 
24-hour program completed, the new program starts, and then the 24-hour 
program would be the highest-priority program to expire (assuming all 
other LiveTV programs had already expired).

So, feel free to make that an option.  :)
