Following on from Phill's comments relating to recording groups, there
is a field in the 'recorded' table called 'recgroup' (I'm using schema
1083) which you may be able to check to see whether recordings have
been placed into other groups. You could amend those recordings not
appearing to the 'Default' group.

Otherwise, try to change the viewed recording groups and see if the
missing recordings appear that way. From the keys.txt file:

In the Watch Recordings Screen
- M to change the view or to set a group password
- I to move a program from one Recording Group to another
