[mythtv-users] HD Homerun Recordings Randomly Breaking

I hate to the muddy the water, but here's my report:

Two 0.21 FE/BE combos, each in different owner's homes in the Comcast market in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Each box has it's own HD Homerun for recordings.
On 10/16/2010, after many months of flawless HD Homerun recordings, both boxes inexplicably began 'recording' 0-byte files from the HDHomeRuns.  
On 10/23/2010, both systems' HD Homeruns went back to recording without issue.  Both system owners were away from home from 10/10/2010 through 10/24/2010, so no changes, reboots, or other actions were taken on either system before or during this problem.  Only the lone cat-sitter reported that watching LiveTV (via the HD Homerun) worked fine during this period.

I'd love any insight as - at the moment - I can't reproduce the problem.
