Watching "Live" TV is actually watching a recording, a little behind "live".

Although you might be a little behind "reality" you should be able to watch 
the recording itself on multiple frontends, just as with any other recording.

Just go to recordings and select the one in progress, it will be highlighted 
to indicate the "in progress" nature of the file.

Your system most likely won't have time to commflagg the recording, but that's 
the price you pay for watching "live".

As a plus, each frontend can pause, rewind or otherwise modify the "live" 
stream independently. Obviously you can't FF into material that hasn't been 
captured yet.
