I figured out what's going on (at least in the version of MythTV in Knoppmyth R5A26). If it's described anywhere, I can't find it, so for the benefit of others...
It seems that the guide you bring up from Live TV ("Show Program Guide" in the "TV Playback" section in Mythweb keybinding configuration) behaves differently from the "Program Guide" ("Jumppoint" in Mythweb keybinding configuration).
The former has a live TV window in the upper right hand corner and you can select channels from it.
The latter has no live TV and you cannot switch to a live tv channel from it, only set up recordings.
That seems totally counterintuitive - the guide should act the same everywhere. Why take away functionality in some places? A bug?
