I've got a little problem with my mythtv box that is getting me loads of
grief from SWMBO,
basically every now and then (it's happened three times that I've noticed so
far) the box stops recording,
backend is up and (apparently) working, but doesn't record (again).

It also doesn't auto-shutdown and mythweb doesn't work.

No errors, no (apparent) problems the programs are scheduled to record it
just doesn't record.

Example, it should have recorded Friends at 07:29-08:01 this morning, a peek
in the backend log shows

There are no (related) errors in the syslog (only the normal cron/ssh
messages), plenty of disk space (3Gb free on the system disk and
