I don't think i've seen it highlighted red to indicate everything is
working. Highlighted red usually means that it will not record. Can you
please send a screenshot of this on your system.

Bug description:
I think that this may represent several separate bugs...
I have been using Mythbuntu 9.04 since May 09, with only a few early teething
problems, until 1 week ago.
My MythTV recording facility worked only partially on 26/07/09 (when I had 7
programs scheduled) & 28/07/09 (when I had 5 programs scheduled), all over
several channels.
On one channel only, all requested programs were recorded; none of the other
programs on other channels were recorded.
However, for the ones that were not recorded, the following happened:
1. The scheduled items on “Upcoming Recordings” were red high-lighted during
the period that they should have been recorded (as normal).
2. On the “Watch Recordings” list, when I clicked on any of the red
high-lighted items, the system displayed the message “not available yet” (not
normal).
3. When the time for recording had passed & when I clicked on the item to watch
it, the system displayed the message “can't find the file”.
I think that an earlier indication of recording failure & a clear error message
should be displayed when the program is not recording, rather than the the red
high-lighted items (as in points 1 & 2 above). A superficial glance at these
infers that all is well, as this is the typical indication that recording is
going OK.
I don't remember any particular action that may have disabled anything. In any
case, with one channel recording, it wasn't the whole system.
I suspected a tuner problem (I can't make any sense of logs, & they have
thousands of lines...). So I used “Control Centre” to review the tuners.
I have 2 X dual digital tuners; both Hauppauge; a model Nova T-500 PCI, bought
on 17/10/08, & a model Nova TD-500 PCI (which seems to be the current version
of the T-500), bought on 23/06/09.
The system is recognising both tuners in the TD-500 (chip DibCom 7000 PC), but
only one in the T-500 (chip DibCom 3000MC/P), so I need to do some more
investigation on that.
The tuners are numbered 57 to 62.
After reviewing the data associated with the tuners, but not changing anything,
I quit the “Control Centre”. The system then requested that I run
"mythfilldatabase", so I did that.
It now seems to be working, although I haven't tried stressing it yet.
I have included part of the log file /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log. This
covers the time period from just before 18:30 to just after 21:30 on Sunday
26/07/09 (the file inadvertently has the date 270709, but should be 260709).
