Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't appear that anything has changed in the 
channel setup. I just did a restart of mythbackend, then ran mythfilldatabase, 
and now everything looks clean, but my recording rules still will not work.

I have been playing with mhegepgsnoop for the last few weeks (to fill in data 
for channels not coming through with tv_grab_nz.py) and it seemed to be 
working fine, but wondering if maybe that could be causing an issue?
