I'm seeing something sort of similar... but opposite :-)  If I watch an 
in-progress recording, the length shown is consistently significantly 
less than the actual recorded portion of the program.  For instance, if 
I watch an in-progress recording that's been going for 30 minutes, I 
only get, say, 12 minutes of it.  If I try to FF or watch past that 
point, it behaves as if it reached the end of the program.  As soon as 
the recording finishes, I can watch the whole thing.
