I haven't, but I don't know what brand/model TiVo you are using.
Not all TiVos are equal and exhibit the same problems.

Note that a program start from Now Playing list is different when
pressing Select versus Play on a highlighted program name.

I also get this.
It seems to have started when I changed from 40GB to 260GB.
I notice that it only happens when recording.
both the old disk and the new ones are 3.1.1.e on a Samsung DirecTV unit.

Tivo is a poorly designed and written product.

These types of issues can be expected to occurr frequently.

Check with your cable company for a better product.
