I don't think the machine is aware of my intent. Granted, I could set channel A to record while I'm watching it live, and that would force the switch from B to C to occur in the background. (Maybe. What if I'm watching two consecutive shows on channel A, 9-10 and 10-11? Does the foreground channel stay put at 10? I should try this out.)
I bristle at having to devise my own workaround to compensate for poorly designed software.
