As far as I can tell, zap2it will not let me go back to Sundays schedule.
I was able to go back to Sunday with MythWeb and capture an image of the schedule.
As you can see, the show was scheduled from 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM. The schedule correctly shows the missing hour by skipping from 1:45 to 3:00AM. (It will be interesting to see how the schedule and recordings handle the end of daylight savings time where we get two back to back hours both called 1:00 AM).
I think I have an idea of how this may have happened. I have my recordings set up to start 5 minutes early (though I may have that set up in two places because it appears my recordings are starting 10 minutes early.) That 5 minute set back would have put the start time at 2:55 AM, but 2:55 AM does not exist on that day, the hour between 2 and 3 gets skipped, so the recording should have started at 1:55 AM, but instead it started at 3:55 AM. The adjustment went the wrong way.

Bug description:
Mythweb shows a scheduled recording at 3:55 AM for 10 minutes. Myth front end also shows this to be recorded from 3:55AM to 4:05 AM, also 10 minutes.
The schedule shows that the show should start at 3:00 AM and run until 4:00 AM, an hour. This show happens to be on the day of the switch to daylight savings time.
Attached is a screen shot for mythweb.
So, MythTV is not handling daylight savings time correctly.

I also have this system set up to automatically power up before recording. I have had two previous systems (both windows, two different manufacturers of HDTV card) that would power up for recordings, and they both screwed up daylight savings time every time, so I know to look for this.

This is the latest version of mythTV. I tested the HDHomerun config for someone and they had me switch to automatically update to the nightly build of MythTV so I could test it, but did not tell me how to switch back. I don't know how to get the actual build number.
