Oh...  For Watch Recording screen (I'm assuming that's what you mean by 
"Recorded Programs"), the above wouldn't apply.  There's no reason you 
should ever be able to get LiveTV /and/ the Watch Recordings screen 
showing at the same time.

If you're running trunk, I've heard of at least one other case where 
Myth played back 2 recordings at once, so yours is probably a related 
issue (or the same issue) that's causing that (and that is known by the 
devs and will eventually be fixed in trunk, the non-stable, development 
branch).
