If I understand you correctly, your problem is the annoying "Please  
Retune.." message popping up during playback of your (otherwise good)  
recording.

The message comes from the MHEG data (that is part of your recording). If  
the broadcaster prompted the message whilst you were recording then Myth  
will also display it (at the same position) every time you play the  
programme.

It has nothing to do with the current date or whether you have already  
re-tuned or not - they are just nag screens shown periodically by the  
channels that are affected by the re-tune, according to their 'nag policy'.

The simplest solution is to just close the pop-up (map one of your remote  
buttons to the TEXTEXIT keybinding - F6 by default). Otherwise turn  
Interactive TV off and you shouldn't see them at all.
