Comment (by pkendall64@…):

 I have the same problem and I have worked around it by first sending a
 SendAction command with the action set to "TV Recording Playback". My
 application first calls GetStatus and only send the action if it's not
 already in the recording screen "playbackbox". After sending the action I
 wait 1 second before starting the recording playback. I'm not sure if the
 1 second wait depends on the number of recordings or not, but it works for
 me.

 Still it would be good to have this problem fixed so the workaround is not
 required.
