Why would the end of recording a programme wipe the buffer of 15 minutes time shift if there aren't any other programmes being recorded?
I don't think it necessarily does wipe the buffer. What may be happening is that it is using the recording itself as the 'buffer' and once the programme has stopped recording it switches back to using the real buffer which has not been populated with the programme. What leads me to suggest this is that on the HDR-FOX T2 the colour of the buffer changes to red as if indicating that the recording is being used instead of the 2 hour buffer while the recording is taking place.

Why you want to record the programme and then watch it live (in effect recording it twice) baffles me.
Do you never watch something live that you are also recording for repeat viewing?
No because I know if I have to pause it for a period long enough that can't be caught up in adverts I will lose the end. It takes seconds to press recordings and play the recording 30 seconds or so or longer behind real time. You can still repeat view as many times as you want.
I don't either It is less restrictive to use the recording being made, as it means that I can set bookmarks (on the HDR-FOX T2) and I can restart where I left off if I temporarily switch channels.
