[mythtv] Some bugs

Here are some bug that I know of right now. I don't believe
that any of these are critical but may nice to have them fixed
if the solutions are low impact.

Someone pointed out recently that Program Finder lists do
not include titles with quotes in them. This appears to be
true and probably needs to have quotes quoted somewhere but
I'm not sure where.

Also, in the Program Finder, if a program that is scheduled
to record is in the right column and selected (blue bar) the
text appears as active (white) rather than the record color
(green or orange or whatever).

Several people have mentioned that global post-roll may not
be working. In a quick test, this appears to be the case.
If someone familiar with the code could find a low risk fix,
that would be great but I suspect that this might have an
interaction with the record state of a record in progress
after the endtime has passed.

I've been seeing an intermittent problem where the function
RemoteGetAllPendingRecordings may not be returning all of the
scheduled recordings or at least the thread calling it does
not receive all of the results. This can sometimes truncate
one or more entries from the end of the list. I've seen each
of the following at least once.

- Run "mythbackend -v schedule" then, in another window, run
"mythbackend --printsched" but the latter had one less item.

- Looked up a show in proglister that is a channel record with
no descriptions for duplicate matching. The last showing on
the last day of listing information was not marked for record.

- Added a single record on the last evening of my listing. It
did not show up at the bottom of the list on the conflicts
page. Also, the EPG never marked it as recording even though
the advanced options page showed it was marked as single record.
