Hi Paul -
I agree that a change like this with potentially devastaing consequences should have received a BIG notice in the update literature. People have been used to live mode not overwriting previously captured clips, and for it to suddenly start overwriting would be a big shock.
That being said, it is a feature many people in the past have requested. Mostly, I believe, by people who've had to capture live due to time code burps in their tapes and then want to be able to go back and recapture.
And, a problem easy enough to correct, as long as you're aware of it, by selecting manual reels (I think that's right - I'm in the process of converting from 6.0 to 7.6 right now) to allow for duplicate timecodes from the same reel.
Maybe they can add a big warning when you go to digitize in live mode without manual reels selected that you may be wiping out previously captured material?

Live capture has been changed recently (7.5, or was it 7.6?) to support recapture, so yes it has been changed.
If you can't recapture live material, who bothered to change it?
This new feature messes things up, and fixes nothing that I can tell.
Twice already I've lost scratch tracks by doing pickup lines because of this "fix."
