Comment(by ianicbrisson at yahoo.com):

 I am also experiencing this problem. Ticket 5507 shows the same symtpoms.
 Ticket 3031 which was closed a while back also seems to be related. There
 also is a bug opened under Ubuntu:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/229797

 Typically, one recording out of three will not work. The recording file
 exist but is empty and after checking the log I get the "Warning:
 Recording will not commence until a PMT is set." message.

 Current OS level: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
 Kernel: 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64
 GNU/Linux
 Mythtv Level: 0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1 -
 Architecure: amd64
 DVB card: Air2PC First Gen
 I had the same problem with 0.20-0.4 from which I upgraded and on a Fusion
 HDTV Gold which I replaced because I thought it was a hardware problem.
 Here's the complete information about the mythtv version:
 MythTV Version   : 16468
 MythTV Branch    : tags/release-0-21
 Library API      : 0.21.20080304-1
 Network Protocol : 40
 Options compiled in:
 linux profile using_oss using_alsa using_arts using_jack using_backend
 using_dbox2 using_dvb using_firewire using_frontend using_hdhomerun
 using_iptv using_ivtv using_joystick_menu using_libfftw3 using_lirc
 using_opengl_vsync using_opengl_video using_v4l using_x11 using_xrandr
 using_xv using_xvmc using_xvmcw using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python
 using_opengl using_ffmpeg_threads using_libavc_5_3 using_live

 Log file is attached as mythbackend.PMTnotSet.07072008.log.

 I can't tell the source of the problem but this appears to me as a high
 priority bug as it affects the core fucntionality of mythtv.

 I'll be happy to help with any additionnal information.
