Here is a sequence that shows this bizare behaviour:

16:59
1 program scheduled to record
http://tigger.ws/myth1.png

17:01
It has started to record
http://tigger.ws/myth2.png

17:03
The second instance has started. It reports start time as 16:58 but really it is 17:02 ish
http://tigger.ws/myth3.png

I can’t make sense of this. It is a new DB. Anybody help please …
