Olympics Prime-Time recordings corrupt

[oldengineer]

Yesterday I reported that one of my Hoppers stopped recording the Olympics in PTAT but that the other Hopper recorded it OK. That turned out to be incorrect, and the final result is really weird.

After noting the failure in the first Hopper I looked at the Olympic coverage in the PTAT folder of the second Hopper. The entire event was recorded OK and I thought everything was good.

A little later my wife went to the PTAT folder, saved the event to My Recordings, and deleted it from PTAT. She then started watching it and all was well for about an hour. The recording then shifted to the ABC channel and showed 2 hours of PTAT from ABC.

Something bad happened when the recording was saved and then deleted from PTAT.

I think the SW change that combined the PTAT and User partitions has broken the system, and something needs to be done quickly.

Mine switched to ABC as well and I did not remove from the PTAT folder.
