Has anyone else tried to record a programme they are watching in Live-TV and

What version? Stable and SVN have very different implementations of LiveTV.
I was watching a film, about 5 minutes in I decide I would like to record it.
I hit record, the "Recording XXXXXXX" message appears and the in-progress
recording appears in the recordings screen.
I was a little puzzled because the Programme Guide didn't show the film as
recording but I shrugged that off. Later I discovered that it had only
recorded the first 45 minutes of the two hour film.
The important question here is actually why did it stop recording? Bad
program guide data? Godd program guide data, but a network that was
broadcasting 1 1/4 hours off schedule? ...
Annoyed I deleted and
'allowed re-record' but found the the next showing was not scheduled.
Delete and allow re-record simply deletes the file and removes the
"recorded" recstatus from the oldrecorded table so that any rule that
matches the program--even if using duplicate detection--will record it.
If you don't have a recording rule that matches the program, it won't be
recorded.
LiveTV makes a recording rule that only matches the one specific
showing--the one you're currently watching. Therefore, you must create
a recording rule for the program. IMHO, making a recording rule is
always a better idea, anyway--that way, Myth may see a later showing of
the program and decide to record it in its entirety instead of recording
the current partial showing. Then again, I don't even understand why
people watch LiveTV, so I may be^H^H^H^H^H^Hprobably am biased...
