[mythtv-users] Why is HDHomerun Prime not recording so many shows?

Hi,

A friend of mine recently bought and configured an HDHomerun Prime for 
Myth with Comcast.  He has been noticing a slew of channels that are not 
recording properly.  Unfortunately, it's not consistent.  For example, 
the food network will record just fine for one show and then not record 
the next.  Even for the same show.  I've asked him to turn on more 
debugging in the backend.  In the meantime, is there something in the 
base logs that give a clue as to what's happening?

Here's a bit of output from his log:
