I've considered the same question a few times. Like the case where you watch a show and get part way through it before you decide you really like it or want to show it to your wife and then you can't go back and add the buffered video to a recording that you would create. It is kind of frustrating that the data you want exists, but there is no way to get it in the recording.
This would be a great feature to add. Maybe a begin recording from buffered option on live TV recording.
