Has anyone gotten any further with this? Its a very frustrating
problem. The wife is asking me every time there is a broken recording,
"why don't we just have a Tivo?".

I'm currently running:

For the past 3 and a half years running mythtv, I cannot remember ever
not having this issue. Although, finding this email, I at least know a
possible work-around. Don't record in mpeg4.
