Are you on *buntu (I think you are).

Try

sudo /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database

It will try to repair the db, then create a(nother) backup.


While you are about it move that script to /etc/cron.daily and increase the
number of copies it keeps. (They take up damn all room and it can take some
time to realise you have corruption).
