If the tire on your car blows out, why bother changing it until you've
reported it to firestone?

If the backend crashes, the recording would be broken into multiple parts.
Wouldn't it make more sense to follow these

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-20.html#ss20.9

and post to get a solution rather than post to ask for a script to ignore
the problem?

I look forward to reading the contrived counter-arguments ;-).
