Steppes theme: different coloured shows in Watch Recordings

Just noticed in the Watch Recordings list in Steppes that some shows
were white and some are yellow. Missus asked why and I had no answer.

Hi;

The recordings with yellow boarders are damaged.

Check your backend logs, I suspect you'll find something like this:

FinishedRecording(1091_2012-04-19T12:42:17) damaged recq:<RecordingQuality
overall_score="0" key="1091_2012-04-19T12:42:17" countinuity_error_count="0"
packet_count="19063635"> ...

Yeh, it appears the weather knocked out some of my OTA recordings from
Buffalo...sigh.

So, in the context of digital reception, what qualifies a recording as 'damaged'?

Most of my recordings are rock-solid now that digital switchover is finished
here and they've upped the transmit power, but there's still the occasional
pixellation. Where is the line drawn?

Most of my 'yellow' recordings (MythCenter-Wide, 0.25) are made as
tests, started late or finished early.

Hi;

Here's all I know: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.25#Misc_2.
See the last bullet item in this section. The two links have more detail.

Well, in my case the recordings didn't finish as the reception was so
bad due to thunderstorms that the signal was unwatchable and I guess
too many errors for Myth. OTA signal from a nearby U.S. city.

Would running these damaged files through ProjectX be of any use?

Damaged = missing part of the video--a jump in timecodes indicating that
signal cut out or something. No tool can fix that. :)
