Well I do also suppose that the list is sorted, but I found that after a 
recording has finished, it is still in the reclist. Therefor the calculated 
time to the "next" starting time is a negative number (pointing to the 
starting time of the last recording which took place). This will never be 
larger than the time set in idleWaitForRecordingTime.
So if indeed recIter should be reset to the beginning of the list (which I 
do not think is necessary, because the code used for the scheduler itself 
lets the recIter point to the next recording.) it should rescan the list to 
see if it is really a recording in the future.

So to solve this problem I think there are two options: either use the next 
recording determined by the scheduler or determine it again.

since you said that the assignment was necessary, my proposed (sorry for 
the typo) compare is wrong, and the first item in the list is not 
considered as a special case...
