I was just going to post that from my further digging, it looked like it was 
the channel change across sources that was causing the break down.  I 
suspect you're right, once you change channels across sources, the card 
selection is following recording rules, rather than Live TV rules. 
Considering your comments about the number of bug tickets about this, I 
should probably just leave it alone.

I watch very little Live TV other than sports events.  However, my wife will 
quite often go to bed a little bit before me and flip on Live TV.  This 
usually opens to an OTA channel from the previous Live TV session.  She then 
tries  to flip to a cable channel she likes to watch, which is where this 
rears it's head because she finds herself "trapped" in the multiplex of a 
running recording and can't get to her channel.
