I too have the problem, that is; "Seeking past what was the end of the
recording and the time I started watching or seeking". I think it is only
occurring when watching live or in-progress recordings of Freeview HD.

If you don't have this problem on Freview HD, myself and a few other users
on this list would be very interested in your setup, as this single problem
is driving us nuts.

I have tried many times to change my wife's watching habits, but she is
quite happy to watch ads and Home and Away.

How to reproduce (on 0.21):

1) Be in New Zealand
2) Go to "Watch TV" and start watching a FV HD channel
3) Watch for 3-5 minutes (cover your eyes and ears if live tv hurts too
much)
4) Take note of the ad/program/action that is occurring on screen
5) Now skip back 2 minutes (I use the left arrow of my MCE remote which =
-10sec)
6) Wait 1 minute
6) Now try to skip forward, and try to skip past the point noted in Step 4
(Right arrow = +30sec)

I just did this, and couldn't skip past the point in Step 4 in 30 second
increments, even though there was more than 30 seconds of content past that
point. It just seems to "stick" at the point noted in Step 4. In addition,
waiting a few seconds and pressing right arrow again can only skip forward a
few seconds as the 'perceived' timeline grows out in front of that point.

I don't speak any of the languages that Myth is written in so I can't
contribute at that level. However, this really seems to be a bug and I am
happy to contribute in any other way necessary to get it fixed.
