What is happening is that an update to the recorded table as part of
closing the recording for LiveTV affects both the LiveTV and the scheduled
recording rows.  The recording ends, but oldrecord.recstatus doesn't get
properly changed, so it appears that the recording is "stuck".  When the
backend starts, it cleans up any recordings in this state, so that is why
you see what you do when you restart the backend.

There is a patch in bugs that resolves it for me (#11119) and I have been
running it since November, but warpme reported some unintended interactions
with some playback controls.  I haven't been able to replicate his
complaint.

If someone else can try the patch and confirm the interaction, that would
be great.  We can either reject the patch, fix it further or take another
approach.
