I just had another error, this time at 12:30. There was a process right 
before it, too from 12:00:00 to 12:29:40. I'm beginning to wonder that 
if the previous VBI process has not yet ended, maybe that's causing a 
conflict of some sort. Seems like a bit of a pattern. I don't know if 
I've noticed errors happening to "new" shows (i.e. shows that are 
starting with no recordings happening in front of them). What do you 
think about that?
