This was a problem with the old releases. I believe with current software it still isn't great (the screen is still black rather than something that tells you what's going on) but after a while it gives up and returns you to where you were. Ideally (though I have other priorities) it would pop up a little display saying "Tuning channel X, signal strenght yy%" and let the user hit a key to get out of it. But LiveTV is of very little interest to me, and most other PVR hardcores. You always try it out when first installing, of course. Far more troubling is the current behaviour for recording in this situation, which is to give up an entire recording if the signal strength isn't right at the start of the recording. That I'm more inclined to try to fix!
