Have you had any channel updates in the past few weeks? You may find
that the channel number that is being passed to the script
(channel.freqid) on channel change is missing/corrupted. You can use
the channel,recording log levels to provide additional infomation in
the mythbackend logfile, and use the channel editor to ensure your
channels have the correct freqids (the values passed to the channel
change scripts).
