Load directly to "Watch Live TV"???

Hello,
Does anyone know a way to make SageTV load directly to the "Watch Live TV" mode when it is launched rather than loading the "Main Menu"? I would prefer to have it open up and start displaying TV like, well, a TV! LOL I love SageTV but it does crash at times, more now that I have two tuners installed, and loading back to the Main Menu after each crash rather than just loading back to live TV is kinda annoying....
I asked SageTV support and they refered me to the Studio, I figured I should ask here first before digging into all that, since I really just want to make this one change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Something is wrong if it is crashing as I have four tuners, including two HD-PVRs which many find unstable, and I rarely (if ever) have crashes.

It did the crashing a bit before I installed the second tuner, seems to do it more now, not sure if maybe it doesnt like my tuner cards or there is some driver issue, but....
Is there any way to make SageTV load directly into "Watch Live TV" mode? (even if it wasn't crashing....)

I guess its a reasonable request, but ... the vast majority of pvr users watch recorded content, because, thats kind of the point -- to watch your content how and when you want. If you don't solve the problem take comfort in the fact that your viewing habits will likely change over time.

Its taken my parents years with their cable DVR, but the change is definitely happening.

If your system is crashing you have some other problem. I have 7x24 SageTV up and running and it has never crashed. The PC sometimes has other SW quirks that cause me to restart it, but it has and does go over a month w/o a reboot...try running prime95 as a stress test on the HW...if it can do that overnight, then you probably just need to do a fresh install cause something else is bad. I do occasionally have codec issues, but that will crash immediately when you try to play back media that breaks sageTV...
