I have one reoccurring scheduled ("ER"). Today, we were watching TV, and wanted to just watch it live (what was about to be recorded). So, we tuned to that station just before the program. At the time the recording started (about 22:00), the TV viewing just stopped and jumped back to previous screen (guide in this case).
This is the first problem, as it's a bit annoying - it could pop a similar screen to the "watch XXX / don't watch TV" instead of just "abruptly" exiting TV. Never mind.
So, now I want to just watch it. I tried from the "Pending" screen - this is where I usually do it. But it failed with an error (logs attached). However, this is not the problem I want to point out - so, I canceled this recording, and pressed "Live TV".
I got the famous popup but without the "Watch XXX" - just a single "Don't watch TV" option!!!
Even restarting the GUI didn't convince GBPVR that I can watch TV - remember - there's nothing being recorded now (or shouldnât be). But now looking - I found there was a file in the recording folder (2.9GB, so I guess it's the whole hour long). But it does not appear under the Recordings screen.
