The behavior is correct in that it starts viewing the show thats being
recorded (from the start) provided I hit WatchTV during the scheduled time
of the program. If I hit WatchTV in those couple of minutes of extended
recording time then I get the black screen and back to the menu.

I assume its some part of the rule that determines that WatchTV (i.e. an
attempt to enter LiveTV) going to the currently recording program is
tempered by the scheduled run time of the program rather than the actual
recording state (just a guess).

By the way, I'm running r13654 SVN (was HEAD but the ffmpeg updates have
totally broken DVD viewing for me!).

If there is extra info I can supply then it would be worth opening a
ticket maybe?
