Gah! Sorry, I forgot, though it's not as helpful as it might be:

[micheal at ruby ~]$ mythbackend --version

It's from the Mandriva 2010.0 i586 release, and the svn is (allegedly) 22890 and 
dated 26/11/09.

No, I've never even looked at that channel, although it's there and it's 
visible. As a rule I try to make all the Freeview channels available if I can 
for diagnostic purposes.

My big beef is, when this happens the back end seems to make a song and dance 
about it. That's a channel on one of the BBC multiplexes, and the recording I 
lost (on that occasion) was scheduled for Film 4, a different multiplex.

When it happens, it seems to tie up the tuner, and the scheduler isn't flexible 
enough to find another tuner to use for the next recording. I have currently two 
DVB-T tuners with two virtual tuners each, so it should be possible.

This affects a channel that's not of interest to the scheduler. Why should it 
break everything? Perhaps the error handling could be more forgiving?

Is this some special problem we have because the BBCi channels come and go?
