The words, "bombed out," and any other references to crashing, 
non-functioning, ... were never used in the post ( 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/233462#233462 ).  If 
that's what's happening, someone should (confirm and) say so.  The post, 
instead, only said, "the first show is gone," which indicates a 
misunderstanding as to how (0.19+) LiveTV works.

It's always recorded...  The only issue seems, to me, to be the lack of 
understanding of how to use the LiveTV group.
