[mythtv-users] Corrupted database file

[IvanK.]

Jason,

a number of causes can be cited for corrupted tables, if that is your 
question.  A cold reboot, incomplete writes, fs errors, etc. etc.

In my case it was a hard reboot due to frozen system after trying certain ivtv 
ck drivers.  I had to hit reset once too many times and the tables must have 
got corrupted.
