I've partially tried the patch, in that I've rebuilt mythtv on my
backend with the patch included, and then regenerated positions maps
for some of my recordings using mythcommflag --rebuild. I haven't
rebuilt myth on my frontend yet because I use minimyth, and building
it from scratch can take 10 hours, plus I'll need to remind myself
how to add patches to minimyth. The patch doesn't seem to have fixed
the problem completely, but then again I don't know if you would expect
it to have, or whether it need to be applied to both frontend and
backend.

I'm just rebuilding position maps for all my old BBC HD rercordings
to see if the problem looks fixed for any of them.

Cheers,
