I changed the subject to v0-35 because that's what the new feedback if from

I've noticed that if I'm playing a recording (HD ATSC 1080i) it works 
fine and then after many minutes it starts getting jumpy. Pausing 
doesn't fix it.  If I exit out of leanfront and then restart the 
recording from the bookmark it's fine for another 10-20 minutes.  The 
recording is fine if I play it from other FEs.
