 From the Watch Recordings screen, press Menu. Choose Change Group  
Filter from the list and then choose LiveTV to show your LiveTV  
recordings. There is also a setting somewhere that allows you to view  
LiveTV along with your regular recordings by default but I don't  
remember where that is. It's annoying and should stay off, anyway. :)
