I have 99% signal strength and at the same time of day, Live TV is fine but
KQED recorded will not play.
I should have mentioned that this is an OTA issue.

I am guessing that Mythbuntu is not setting the quick tune bit when it
should when recording even if the setting is "Always"

I just need someone else to confirm it.
