Yes, you are correct, table oldrecorded needed cleaning up.

On v31-Pre-61-ga99d3e6d78

I cleaned up the oldrecorded table (by deleting the futures entries) 
rebooted (just to make sure no caching was happening) that resolved my 
issues.

I then rebuilt to current master v31-Pre-116-ge83b364931 and rebooted 
again, it seems ok now.

The Previously recorded screen and Upcoming recording screen  are now 
showing correctly.
