I guess it's bad form to bump, but am I really the only person seeing 
this, with latest 0.24-fixes on Ubuntu?

Could other UK Freeview users schedule a recording on, e.g, Radio 4, and 
then while it's still recording, start playing it back then skip to the 
end with e.g. down arrow, and see if it hangs for you as I describe above?

The other problems listed below could also do with verifying, but the 
above is the most annoying.

Cheers,
