Comment:

 Okay, I think I traced down the problem to this code in
 TVRec::TuningGetChanNum():
     if (request.flags & kFlagLiveTV)
         channel->Init(input, channum);

 It tries to set the channel number before we make sure the recorder is
 paused, so it creates a race condition on whether the recorder has
 actually managed to pause yet. I need to look at what this code is used
 for before I can write a fix. I should have a patch for you to test by
 tonight.
