Here's a couple of issues I've noticed when I start watching a show as it is recording (scheduled, not live). Sorry if they've been brought up but I didn't see them.
One is that the time bar that shows where you are maxes out at the length of the recording at the time I start watching. So if I start 10 minutes in I can watch 10 minutes but then lose the ability to ff/rw because it thinks I'm past the end of the show. Going back the menu and playing again refreshes the ending point.
Another weird problem I've had when doing this same thing is that sometimes the skip button decides to go not in 30 second increments but minutes at time. Sometimes it will just skip to the end no matter what when I push skip, sometimes it will do a couple of minutes each time instead of 30 seconds, and once I'm pretty sure it skipped 3 minutes, then 6.
Playing while recording is probably trickier than normal but I thought I'd bring these up.
