Yep, I e-mailed David asking for some direction on this.

My understanding is that the slave-backend on master restart is handled
with calls from the master, so this doesn't apply directly unless we
make the scheduler polls the recorder; which doesn't feel like the
right thing architecturally.

I haven't heard back from David yet, but really bad things still won't
happen. The scheduler is blocked from killing the an progress recording
started in LiveTV, by just starting a new recording as it normally does.
This isn't ideal as it means post-roll is not a soft post-roll and the
scheduler will try to start a recording on every reschedule, but should
work until I hear back from David.
