[mythtv-users] Loads of failed / empty recordings.

Another complete failure last night.

And this was after I tried deleting and readding all of the capture cards.

After re-adding them, I tested each one using live tv.

Worked fine for about 2 days.  Then, some trigger, which I can't
determine, randomly disables most of my tuner cards.  Nearly all
recordings become 0 byte files.  It does not work again until after a
system reboot.

It seems to have to do with the system getting busy (many recordings
in the same timeslot)

What can I provide to help debug this?

MythTV has become useless for capturing video at this point.  Sigh.
If only I wouldn't have had to upgrade due to the KSTP encoder
issue... I used to have a working system.
