Because the tuners change around (depending on configuration, as little 
as when you change your system or even as much as every reboot), the 
information is not stored when we record a show (because it would be 
either meaningless or--worse--misleading in many (most?) situations).  
Instead, we output a message in the backend log file that includes the 
tuner in use when we start a recording.
