How to determine if a show is live TV (IPTV or hdhomerun)?

[BillOatman 496]

Fir a light control plugin I'm trying to determine if what is currently being played is a TV show (not recording but rather in the live TV section of Emby, IPTV or hdhomerun for example).

How would I determine this?  I tried 

 public bool getIsLiveTV(PlaybackProgressEventArgs e)
 {
     bool? isLiveTV = _sessionManager.GetSession(e.DeviceId, e.ClientName, "").NowPlayingItem.IsLive;
     return isLiveTV.HasValue ? isLiveTV.Value : false;
 }

But I always get false out of it.  Is that IsLive flag indicating if the guide has the Live tag set?

How would I determine if IPTV or hdhomerun are playing?

The item being played would be of type LiveTvChannel.
