Thanks David. For me I never saw the outcome when it works as expected. 
I have tried this at least 7-8 times now. I wonder what the triggers 
could be for when it works. I have noticed that if I start watching 
LiveTV just after the recording started, everything works as expected.
If it works every now and then it might be a race condition or similar.
