I had this happen and would go into the schedule and record a show.
That resets the pointer. Not ideal and maybe fixed in the latest
version as the channel I was watching quit going off the air in
preparation for the switchover I guess, so I wouldn't have the problem
anyway any more.
I guess you could also set up a schedule to record 1 min of another channel.
