Seeing the same issue here...funnily enough it happened to the same
show (a midnight recording) over a three day period. All other
recordings throughout the days were fine.

Updated my 25-fixes this morning. Same issue with the file size/time
as above. Said I had a 31 minute 3.93 gig recording when it was a 14
minute 1.8 gig recording. Also, both times the show crapped out at 14
minutes. Again these were the only 2 recording to have this happen.

Bizarre that it's the same show/channel at the same time: 00:14.
