My parents are watching it live; but do keep pausing it now and again. If I were at home I would also be watching it "live" but also delayed.
As it happens I am also at my parents home but if I was at my own place I would also be recording it so that the Tivo wouldn't attempt to change the tuner at all when three things at once are recording later this afternoon.
So, to clarify, I have
never ever said not to watch anything "live" or "at leisure"

My point was record everything anyway.
