Yes...the original failed recording was on tuner 3, and that was the
only available tuner when I tried to restart it.

This doesn't happen often for me, but I was on 27.3 for quite some
time and I know for sure I've had failed recordings that I was able to
delete and/or stop without any issues.  Over the years on various revs
I'm sure I've had this happen many times without any issues.

As I explained, the two failures I've had recently both did very odd,
though different things.  That is, where one got stuck in a
"recording" state, and one wouldn't even let me into the menu to stop
or delete it, and could only be deleted from mythweb.  Really odd.

I'll look.  I have a feeling that determining what the relevant parts
are could be really tough.

Thanks for the reply!
