Sorry about wrapped lines, using gmail web frontend......

That looks like it's given me a fix.....

I cleaned up the rules and while doing so came across something that
could be a conflict.

When I originally built the system as a combined Freeview and Freesat
service the CHANID values get set according to the order that the
source device is chosen.

In my original build I'd actually scanned the DVB-T channels twice
from two different DVB-T tuners as I didn't realise that the source
could be shared by the other tuners.  So then when I scanned the DVB-S
channels there was a 4000 offset for the SID and therefore CHANID, for
example BBC HD which has a SID of 6940 got allocated a CHANID of 10940
to allow for the offset.

When I did the recent rebuild I didn't make the same error so the SID
and CHANID were instead 8940 rather then the original 10940.  This
means the database had recording rules for CHANID values that just
didn't exist in the database anymore.

I've cleaned the rules down from 750+ to about 150 and will monitor
for a few more days, if I'm right it'll be worth putting this into the
wiki so it doesn't catch out other users later.

Fingers crossed but good job guys.
