Yes, you can, but depending on the client, it will not update the end
time once you start watching it. For instance, if you start watching a
60 minute long show, and it has been recording for 30 minutes, the
uPNP client will only see the first 30 minutes, and will stop playback
at that point. You would then need to go back into the recording to
see the rest. At least that is how my PS3 handles it, other clients
may deal better with it.
