Yesterday I noticed the same problem with a DVB-T channel on my master
backend - program transition froze, but the new program was
successfully recorded up until I backed out of LiveTV. I could then
quickly access it via the recordings list and watch it before it was
expired. We never watch LiveTV via MythTV on this box hence it has not
been noticed until I specifically tested for it.
