Hi John, it was a freak thing as far as I can tell, yesterday any recording
I selected had no seek table, but FTA recordings that I watched last night
(ones that need little post comflag editing) played without ads. I comflag
on the go. Not too bad an event though out of six recordings list from the
db_restore two return on a different channel later tonight, two others I'll
download, and the other two aren't that important.

I'm still not sure why I get the freeze-ups, momentary hangs, which brought
this on in the first place, maybe it's time to do a fresh install and see
if "snappy, happy" mode returns.

Even with all the challenges/learning experiences I can't see myself using
anything other than MythTV,
THIS SOFTWARE ROCKS!
