I know in 0.19 when the LiveTV changes went in and I was playing
around with it. I was able to watch live TV, pause, come back later
and continue watching the show to completion, even if Myth began to
record on that tuner. I would imagine this should still be possible
unless theres a bug or something else changed this behavior?
