Hello,

Somehow my DVB card stopped working, and a warm reboot didn't help
(only a cold reboot did). I don't know what happened here[1].

However, after the unsuccessful warm reboot, mythtv has a recording on
the recording list which it didn't make (because it was too busy
complaining that it couldn't open the DVB device and failed to realize
the analog adapter was free), and now I can't watch it (obviously!) or
delete it (because it doesn't exist).

How do I delete it?

Or do I have to manually delete the SQL entries?

Notes:

It was working at 1730 (last recording), but it stopped working at
1740 (next recordings were never attempted).

The only thing logged was:

This recording never showed up in the database. During the crash,
files could not be deleted without the frontend hanging.

Just to prove the database was OK though, programs continued to record
on the analog adapter.
