Let's suppose I had a PBS America show on pause, to watch what's left of Newsnight, and then I return to play the documentary. Despite ad-skipping the doc is still playing from the disk at midnight when PBS America changes into a pumpkindata service. At that point the playback is cancelled in favour of the completely uninteresting "Back at 13:00" that the channel shows for 13 hours of the day. No doubt the unwatched material is still in the TSR buffer and perhaps could be extracted by nicesplice (in another place). But why, and is there anything to be done (apart from actually recording the show, or having watched it on BBC when it was first shown, or on BBC4 if it comes around again)?

Yes, I've been caught up with that sort of thing. I have a mental note to actually record rather than rely on timeshift (especially because I have a habit of accidentally changing channel).
