If anyone's going to implement this (doesn't sound like anybody cares 
enough to implement it, though...) could I suggest that you extend the 
idea to allow *any* recording to "play" in the background while you're 
in the menus, not just LiveTV? I think that would be somewhat more 
useful -- sometimes I'm watching a recording, and I'll think of 
something else I want to do briefly... it'd be easier if I could just 
jump into the menus while the recording is still playing in a little 
square, do whatever, and jump back again.

There are certainly other ways to do that, but if you're going to do it 
for LiveTV, why not for a recording as well is all I'm saying.

Dean.
