Recording Live TV without using guide

There’s a local TV special coming up this evening, but my LiveTV Guide continues to show the normal network programming, despite refreshing the Guide. Is there a way to manually record a show that’s not tied to the guide?

I’ve tried to just schedule the existing guide item, assuming I would just change the metadata afterward, but it comes back with “there was an unexpected error”–so Plex has some idea that there’s something wrong in the guide. (I also tried to schedule another channel’s show, and did not get the error).

Can I manually hit the record button when the show actually starts (not the best solution, but I’ll take what I can get).
