I'm not sure if there is a way to do this especially from the EPG, but I also
don't believe it is desirable. 
The reason being is due to the fact you are recording all LiveTV there is a few
seconds delay on switching channels. This means that if you were to "channel
surf" you would find the system would be constantly trying to keep up with your
channel switching.
