My capture device is an HDHR Prime, the one with a cable card and three 
tuners.

I looked at several log files, the ones mentioned at:

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/General_Troubleshooting_Tips

There didn't seem to be anything relevant to the times involved in the 
various syslog files.

I don't seem to have /var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log. There is no 
/var/log/mysqld directory. I do have a series of mysql.log files. 
mysql.log is empty, as is mysql.err. The files mysql.log.1.gz through 
.7.gz have binary content, so I don't know what's in there.

Here are the lines relevant to the times in question from 
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

Scheduled times for Bengals/Steelers game Saturday, 1/9/2016, 5:00 PM -
