</div>So far people are assuming the the file is indeed zero length but from<br>
my reading you are saying it's ok on the linux side and only windows<br>
can't read it. Please clarify.<br>

If live TV can't have it's recording opened, I would assume the recorder doesn't like it either. Either way, the system is failing to stream information to disk or read it back.<br>

If windows is reporting the file as 0 byte (not surprising) I almost guarantee that the Linux filesystem has this at 0 byte as well.<br>
