Hi Isaac,

It turns out that StartRecording currently does nothing when it is
already recording.  There was a memory leak in that case, so I moved
the allocation to tv.cpp where the delete was anyway.  So with this
patch it does the right thing.  I also moved the sleep to a more
logical place and added continues so that we don't use nextRecording
when it's NULL.

Currently there are no

  recording -> recording 

transitions in tv.cpp so adding a second conflicting but higher
priority show for the current time will not change what is currently
recording.  If this is added then a special check for a noop when
transitioning to recording the "same" show needs to be added.

Would you accept a patch to save partially recorded shows?

You're welcome. :-)
