Yeah, I've seen that here from time to time with the 950Q.
But usually only when I'm goofing around fiddling with stuff.
There's definitely something slightly glitchy in there.

My mythtv box powers down (automatically) between recordings,
so the 950Q regularly gets power-cycled with it, so normally no issues here.
