[mythtv-users] Strange time counter issue with recent NBC OTA recordings

I record New York City OTA stations and am running MythTV 0.25.3.

For the last couple of weeks, all my NBC (channel 4.1) recordings have
had strange things happening with the progress time counters.  The
shows record and play just fine...nothing missing or anything else
like that.  What's odd is that, while a one hour show will in fact
show as having a length of 1:00:00 or thereabouts, the progress while
it's playing will go from 0 to 50 minutes.  Also, if I jump to 50
minutes or anything past that, it ends up at the end of the show.

NBC has had a long history of mixing frame rates and other odd stuff.
If I remember correctly, in earlier versions of MythTV things like
this that used to cause MythTV to report incorrect show lengths.  I
figured this may be something similar.

Anyone else noticing anything like this?

Thanks
Tom
