I'm seeing your second problem too, using today's CVS. I hadn't noticed
the problem being related to specific channels, but now after looking
through my recordings I see that I am having the problems with the same
channels as you. Running mythcommflag --rebuild on the recording didn't
help either. If anyone would like I can provide a sample recording.
