its a very strange way to look at it and hence causes confusion
ALL rewinding of live tv is dependent on a recording being present on the hdd , this is true of a v+ , a sky+ , a humax or topfield or similar pvr and is the same on the sony recorder too
anytime you rewind the program back , or you chase live tv , or you watch the program being recorded , you are then watching a recording until you catch up with the live program again
so at all times you are watching a recording UNTIL you get to the live transmission point.
what you are saying is your interpretation of the facts , same as we all are , but unless you watch a live transmission you are watching a buffered recording of some sort
even a live transmission isnt necessarily live either
try putting sky on in one room on bbc1 , the freeview recorder in another room on bbc1 , and analogue tv in another room on bbc1
now tell me if they are all in sync , or is one in front of the other ?
so which one is live ? the one you hear and see first ? ( analogue )
its only no longer a live transmission when it has ceased transmission and so you only have a recording left ( ie:- it has an end point )
