It seems a bit premature for me to send this, but I've just had a 'fail 
to load' the watch recordings screen in 0.24-fixes.  Don't remember 
seeing this before.  Quit and restart frontend made no difference; ok 
after restarting both BE/FE.  UPnP server unaffected, system status 
showed EIT data up to date but no info on tuner status etc.

This is on Fedora 16, 64-bit from ATrpms, build date 30 April.  There 
was a big KDE _and_ mysql update this morning.
