Playing back a recording which is "in progress"

When playing back a recording while it is still in progress, if you fast forward through the recording (e.g. match of the day - I'm not necessarily bothered about every game) eventually you catch up with the live broadcast.
It would be good if the box switched to that channel (or at least gave you an option to do so) so that you could continue watching the programme.
I often have this problem with match of the day, or when watching a recording with ads that you can easily skip through to "catch up" the live broadcast.

I agree; it seriously ****** me off that it doesn't just continue to play (with a slight buffer).
Every PVR I've owned has done that, except YV, which just stops!
None of the many PVRs I have used have switched automatically to the channel being chase-played.
This idea to have chase play seamlessly switch to the live channel when you catch up has come up previous on the forum here. It is item 65 in the consolidated list of improvements and feature requests
To ensure the box doesn't start randomly turning over to channels at the end of every recording, it would have to have to check if the recording you were watching was still in progress when it hit the 'end'.
Only then could it switch over.
While this solution may not be totally seamless, it would at least be a quick way of switching to the correct channel. If I am watching a recording while it's in progress, I have usually avoided that channel to avoid spoilers.
