Hi James,

I also experience this behaviour. I'll also enable the same logging and
see if matches up.

The other day I rebooted and had no missing recordings for more than 24
hours, then I got one last night. It made me think it might be a problem
that gets worse over time until a reboot? I have no real evidence of
this, only a gut feeling. I also wonder if it is a DVB problem or a
mythtv problem.
