Live TV is just a type of recording, so if one works, the other usually would too.
Differences typically are:
- recording directory: ie make sure it is set to a location it'll be able to write to.
- multiple tuners: live tv makes it's way *up* the tuner list looking for a tuner with the requested channel. recordings make their way *down* the tuner. So, if you have multiple tuners, and channels setup on each, you may be seeing the tuner that is being used for live tv is not functioning. I suspect temporarily deleting all tuners but one that has channels, so that live tv and recordings are trying the same tuner, so that you're testing the same thing.
