Rather than just looking on live view, try taking a 3 sec exposure (obviously with tracking on) I found the same thing with my CCD, doing the short 1sec preview exposure on dimmer stars it was near impossible to make out the diffraction spikes, however with a 3sec exposure, then inspecting the image at full resolution, it is rather easy to see even on dimmer (mag 4~5) stars..
