[mythtv-users] LiveTV Fails To Start Because of Recordings? How Do I Resolve?

Hello,

I created a thread about blank screen when starting livetv which received no responses.

In viewing other responses to other posts I saw where I can start the frontend in the command line in verbose mode. When running this command it appears that LiveTV times out because of a failure to start a recording. I don't know what this recording is or how to remove it. Can it be that this problem is due to a bad recording? Please offer your opinions.

This is the output of mythfrontend -v audio,playback:
