I restored my myth software (using menu knoppmyth/restore) to the same version [r5f1], but about 5 weeks old. I repopulated the listings using mythfilldatabase and everything is fine except that the programs recorded in the interrim (between the backup and the restore) do not show up in mythtv. They are still on the hard disk because I can see them in the pretty folder. Is there some recovery method to rebuild the recorded programs from the hard disk info?

That did the trick!

Thanks!
