[mythtv-users] HD Homerun Recordings Randomly Breaking

I have the DBV-T version of the HDHR and recently started experiencing  
similar problems. Some of my favourite shows started to randomly show  
up with B on the size.
I have been away on and off for the past three weeks so I thought it  
may be a space problem and didn't give it a second thought until last  
night.

I was trying to setup a recording schedule for a new show via mythweb  
when I noticed that in the Possible Conficts section it was showing  
more programs than I actually have tuners.
The reason for this was that I had a few old recording schedules with  
"Record on any channel" which had not been recording anything because  
the programs ceased to be aired.

A few months ago a couple of the local stations started airing  
different programming on channels that had been simulcast up until  
then. So when they started transmitting re-runs of the shows in my  
then dormant recording schedules all hell broke loose. I ended up with  
cases where it was trying to record 7 shows with 4 tuners...

The fix:... delete recording schedules of the re-runs...
