Perhaps the easiest way to lose programme listings is to change the
Group Filter. Hit the Menu key from 'Watch Recordings' and select
Default...

You may have accidentally changed the Group Filter setting. My mother
does that all the time by pushing the wrong button on the remote (>>
or <<). To fix it, go to the left hand column (on MythCenter-wide)
where the recording names rather than all the episodes are listed,
then do M(enu) > Change Group Filter > All Programmes. In
MythCentre-wide, you can see the Group Filter settings at the top of
the right hand column, with the current setting highlighted in
brighter green. Pressing the remote >> or << buttons will cycle
through those settings. The Group Filters are based on the
recorded.recgroup values in the database. I think there are only
three Group Filters in the default setup: All, Default and
Favourites. All is everything (it matches any recorded.recgroup
value). Default is everything that was recorded in recgroup Default.
Favourites is everything recorded in recgroup Favourites. There is
another special Group Filter option "Deleted" that shows up (from the
menu only) when you have deleted a recording but it has not yet
actually been deleted by mythbackend. If you select that, you can
select a deleted recording and undelete it, or tell mythbackend to
really delete it immediately.

Bullseye! Thanks to you & JohnP.

We have a few couple of groups set up and when I checked
the filter was set to 'default' instead of what it usually is,
'all programs'. Setting it back to 'all programs' restored things.
No idea how it got set to 'default'. Old age, no doubt..

this is helpful too, while I clean up things we've watched and do
actually want to expire.

Thanks again
