Thanks for your suggestions,

I deleted one of the recordings with mythweb and now I got only one, for simplicity's sake.
I've looked at it and they match:

+----------------+----------------+----------+--------------------------------+
| starttime      | endtime        | recgroup | title                          |

+----------------+----------------+----------+--------------------------------+

>Maybe your database is not consistent
>(newer than?) with the myth version?

well, I used to work with the same mysql version with mythtv 0.14 and it worked fine.
My version is 
mysql  Ver 12.21 Distrib 4.0.15, for mandrake-linux-gnu (i586)


I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I've found out another problem that
doesn't seem to have a clear resolution (as seen on the mail archives) that I cannot
change between channels in livetv mode. I can do it correctly using xawtv, but using
mythfrontend in livetv, mythfrontend outputs:

CheckChannel failed QDateTime::fromString: Parameter out of range.

and mythbackend starts to look at any combination of chanid value possible, reaching none
of them and telling that

Channel: '' was not found in the database.
Most likely, the default channel set for this input
(1 Television )
in setup is wrong
2004-08-18 20:10:37 CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "E2" in the "setup" Channel
Editor.
...
2004-08-18 20:10:37 CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "69" in the "setup" Channel
Editor.
2004-08-18 20:10:37 CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "E2" in the "setup" Channel
Editor.
2004-08-18 20:10:37 Error, couldn't find any available channels.
2004-08-18 20:10:37 Your database is most likely setup incorrectly.

But the values in my database match those on the setup and card source

Anyone has had the same problems before?
How did you fix them?

Thanks for your help and suggestions,
