 I've noticed following issue with combined be+fe and with separate fe:

 Schedule a recording and go to Watch Recordings before recording starts.
 Recording appears on top of the list as a new (ongoing) recording. Now
 quickly try to select that recording -> frontend reports that recording
 file cannot be found.

 You can then try to watch it as many times you like but it is never to be
 found. Also the colour indicating ongoing recording dissapears after
 couple of tries. If you exit from the Watch Recordings screen and come
 back, everything is fine again.

 This can be very confusing from the user's point of view. Sometimes you
 want to watch recording immediately after it has started. Also the fact
 that recording is reported not to be found and the dissapearance of
 currently recording colour indicator can get you to go and re-schedule the
 show or watch it using Live-TV. I've done this couple of times..

 In one test (with combined be+fe and local recording files) this problem
 occured if I tried to watch the program 5sec after it appeared in the
 recordings list. When I waited 20sec everything worked fine.
