Your recordedmarkup table is either corrupt or nonexistant.  You need 
recordedmarkup exists and rebuild the seektable (i.e. fill it with 
markup).  See "mysqlcheck --help" and "mythcommflag --help: and search 
the lists (with these keywords) for more info.  Once you fix your table, 
all new recordings should work, but you still have to rebuild the 
seektable for all the old (affected) recordings.
