Thanks, that worked, and recording 5 shows at once now takes less than 25%
CPU. And it only took 2 hours of Googling for solutions to various problems
encountered along the way! On the down side, the frontend now seems to be
using a steady 1-2% CPU when idle, due to it calling gettimeofday 140 times
per second, which seems a bit much for updating the clock once a minute.
