You should check that the frontend machine is set to the same timezone 
as the backend.  Don't ask me why... but it solved exactly the same 
problem for me a while back.

Also verify the recordedmarkup table isn't damaged (mysqlrepair)...

You can also try running commflag on the recorded shows - this will 
repair the recordedmarkup table entries.
