[mythtv] backend stops recording after many days

My version info with some outputs are below in case they might be of use.

OS/Myth  originally installed January-February 2016, with the last real
upgrade January 11/17  ( v0.28-104-g3930f5d - full data below).

It has always shown this behavior [but with no grabbers - that likely could
be expected].

With my setup, mythfilldatabase doesn't say it updates timers other than
"Attempting...", but the next time it runs (or if one looks at upcoming
recordings in the FE) it does show  timers have been repopulated. After
running it today it has timers from Jul16 to Jul28.

Mythfilldatabase output appears to report different numerical values
between a terminal run (episodes) than from a BElog (items).  I did change
and add a daily timer later on 2017-07-15; currently there are 2 weekly
timers and 2 daily.
