Had some time to look at the logs. To reiterate/clarify: Recording was set
from 19:59 to 00:30. As stated, when I went to hit "Stop Recording" in the
PC frontend, the recording was showing as green and still recording. Web
app and Leanfront both showed it was still recording at that point. I hit
Stop Recording. The PC frontend now showed the show as Yellow (damaged).

Instead of 3+ hours It had recorded only 1 hr and 21 minutes. Looking at
the logs for around that time (21:15 to 21:30), the mythbackend log only
shows the every 14 minute free space tester:

The recording drive has 160GB free. The logs didn't show (is it supposed to
show?) any info that the tuner had failed.

This is the log after I hit Stop Recording:
