Hi,
  Is this really true on a Combined BE/FE machine where the FE opens the file for reading directly, I can't see how it would know that the backend is still writing to it as m_fileswritten is private to the backend - Or am I missing something?

And can I just say that I'm really excited about how much attention livetv is receiving at the moment, it accounts for about 50% of my use case. I'm slowly bringing myself unto speed with the source tree but it's likely to be a very slow process, hopefully someday I will be in a position to contribute something worthwhile back.

Regards
  Russell
