There are a couple of HUGE sections of the "should be local but it can't 
be found" (sounds like me when the wife has been in the shed!) in the 
current log file, but nothing I understand that will stop a program 
recording.
The logs used to be around 130k or so, but the last few have been 20 + 
meg each, so something has happened.  There's been no fiddling for 
months - so it's not something I've done.

 From looking at the record history it seems to just happen on DVB0, not 
DVB1

I could email you the log if you like.. it's 27 megs mind you..
