This is sounding very much like a problem I had on my (now rebuilt) 
MythTV box.  The cause was a corruption of one of the database tables.  
Try running mysqlcheck mythconverg (assuming mythconverg is your 
database name of course)

This problem was recoverable by rebuilding the table in question - which 
was the commercial flag table.  I don't remember the name of this table 
and I'm currently rebuilding my Myth box, so I don't have anything to 
refer to at the moment.  (the reason for the rebuild was the cause of 
the problem in my case - bad memory which caused some nasty crashes - 
the last of which was pretty much fatal, although it took me this long 
to work out it was the memory at fault, not the hard drive)
