[mythtv-users] Why would this happen?

[Jon Boehm]

I've had a smilar problem happen before using my HDHomeRun.  What 
happend was that Comcast moved the frequency of a QAM channel.  What 
Myth or the HDHomeRun did with this situation was strange.  The actual 
recording on the moved channel would obviously fail with no warnings or 
errors in the standard interface.  But was was really a pain, the next 
program that used the HDHomeRun  on any good channel, no mater if it was 
right after the moved channel or hours later, would fail in a similar 
way to what you described.  I would get a blank zero length files for a 
program that should have recorded just fine.

Look at the recording directly before the failure.
