Yikes another mistake on my part
The LCROSS live footage seen later this 8:10pm, is NOT done during a lunar orbit insertion maneuver. Instead, it's part of a long "swing by" process that the LCROSS will undergo. The LRO (now separated from LCROSS) will indeed go into LOI, but there will be no video footage of that.
Nevertheless, the expected views of the moon, from the first "swing by" will be quite cool and amazing.
Sorry for the confusion.

After looping and "swinging by" several times on top of the moon, the LCROSS will separate into two objects and impact twice on the moon's north pole, forming two mushroom clouds (3:07 and 3:33), which will then be analyzed by LRO if they contain any water or ice particles.

UPDATE:
I didn't catch the live stream, and to those who missed it like me, here's a snapshot taken during the approach phase of the swing by...
