In the original posters case it sounded like a non-identical line up from 
multiple sources that have overlapping channels.

I did have a problem here with a batch of failed recordings which took me a 
while to figure out. If I'd known exactly which tuner the recordings where 
being made on it would have been easier to resolve. Turned out to be lengthy 
transmitter work meaning reduced power, causing the loss of a multiplex on 2 
of my 3 digital tuners.
