Another Prison break, and another, file not found. Everything looks as 
though it is working correctly. There in the media library I see an 
entry for the latest Prison Break. It even shows that it is currently 
being recorded. Yet, when trying to access the file, I get the now 
dreaded, file not found.

The log shows
2006-04-17 19:00:03.125 TVRec(2): Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2006-04-17 19:00:03.510 Started recording: Prison Break "Bluff": channel 
2121 on cardid 2, sourceid 2
Started PESPacket, but !payloadStart()

as a reference, the last recording of house (same channel, same tuner) shows
2006-04-11 20:00:02.895 TVRec(2): Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2006-04-11 20:00:03.190 Started recording: House "All In": channel 2121 
on cardid 2, sourceid 2
2006-04-11 20:00:04.422 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started

The last good recording of Prison was
2006-03-27 19:00:02.272 TVRec(2): Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2006-03-27 19:00:02.612 Started recording: Prison Break "By the Skin and 
the Teeth": channel 2121 on cardid 2, sourceid 2
2006-03-27 19:00:03.642 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started

What is it about Prison Break that my mythtv system, now, does not like?
