It could be myth is marking the episodes as damaged which I believe earns them an automatic rerecord. You can check this by going into mysql and doing:

    select starttime, title, subtitle from recordedprogram
    where FIND_IN_SET('DAMAGED', videoprop)
    order by starttime;

I also get stuff that rerecords for no apparant reason but am too lazy to check the DB. Myth offers themes the ability to indicate damage but I don’t think any are using it. Or maybe they do, I only use Blue Abstract and it doesn’t. I keep meaning to tweak it one of these days but...
