As others have said, I think the recordings are starting prior to the proper CRID being transmitted and stopping when the CRID is transmitted - this may, I guess, sometimes mean that the link to the programme details is not properly picked up.
I think it is unlikely that they would start before the correct CRID is broadcast. My guess would be that the running status (part of the metadata in the broadcast stream) is set to active causing the recording to start but then goes inactive after a short time causing the recording to stop and then goes active again. Clearly only the broadcasters will know if this is feasible and what might be causing it. I have only suffered one failed recording recently but I have also seen a couple of examples where a recording is labelled as failed due to the programme not being broadcast but is actually present in its entirety.
