Hi, I'm running the multi-rec bracnch too.

I've been tracking trunk for a while now (up to 14505) and then switched to
multirec (also 14505).

In trunk, when a channel goes off air the MHEG "this channel is closed"
screen correctly appears.

In multirec branch it causes LiveTV to exit with "An error occurred while
trying to display video". Going back into LiveTV once this occurs, it takes
about 10 or 20 seconds before it occurs again (no MHEG screen is displayed).
Trying to change channel within this time fails.

At first glance it doesnt look like the back-end is actually capturing the
MHEG data properly - it immediatley stops recording:

2007-09-19 19:10:29.786 TVRec(6): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2007-09-19 19:10:29.850 TVRec(6): HW Tuner: 6->6
2007-09-19 19:10:31.322 Finished recording This is CBeebies!: channel 1071
2007-09-19 19:10:31.372 scheduler: Finished recording: This is CBeebies!:
channel 1071
2007-09-19 19:10:31.477 Finished recording This is CBeebies!: channel 1071

Meanwhile the front-end sits there waiting for data:

2007-09-19 19:10:32.619 RingBuf(/mnt/store/1071_20070919191031.mpg): Waited

2007-09-19 19:10:47.728 TV: Attempting to change from WatchingLiveTV to None

I dont mind trying to have a look at this in more detail but am not too sure
where to start - with some guidance I'll do some more debugging/testing.

(also, would you like this logged as a seperate ticket, or just put a note
on #3326?)
