Any problems with files with embedded spaces? I understand that

Yep, that's the 'almost'. A command which expects a single operand
like "cd Recorded TV" can handle embedded spaces but if it wants more,
"fc /b %1 %2", it stops parsing the filename for %1 at a space.

I fixed it by renaming the default destination for recordings to
\RecTV.
