Using cat, it appears to play back ok, with audio.  In myth, sometimes 
it doesn't lock and plays in 10 second bursts (and you can watch the 
blue light and its on while playing, drops off then playback starts 
again when the light comes back on).  While playing, it's choppy, and 
the audio is out of sync, but it has always been that way with LiveTV on 
the HDPVR, the recordings were fine before.
