I also have this when the recording is finished recording (pff, what a 
sentence).
But I don't have this on recordings recorded before the upgrade to 0.22.  So 
it has something to do with the new 0.22 backend.
I will try to repair the seektable to see if that makes any difference.

And this can be a few minutes????  And I didn't had this before the 0.22 
upgrade.  Starting livetv requires also that the tuner tunes in and it takes 4 
seconds before the video starts playing.  Far less then the video that I miss 
between 2 recordings.
