Every so often, too often in fact it's getting very annoying, mythtv 
fails to tune in a channel and misses the recording.  The log of such an 
event is below.  Is there any way to tell it to retry when this happens, 
and not just carry on, ignoring the error, and missing the show?

If I restart the backend when I notice it has done this, but the show 
hasn't actually finished, then it tunes in and records what remains of 
the show.  So, all myth needs to do is see the error, and re-attempt the 
recording.
