I always get a "Channel Unavailable" notifier in XMBC. However, it does not cause the "File too small" error message in the mythbackend log file that people have been seeing with cmyth and 0.27.2. It doesn't produce any errors at all as far as I can see, it just connects then disconnects. So it's possible I've got it configured wrong and it would work just fine with the new version.
I'm seeing this exact same behaviour.
I didn't want to be the first to post since I just rebuilt my backend, and it really hasn't worked 100% since...

Yes, the problem occurs with janbars new version (cppmyth)
For Mythtv 0.27.2, the problem has been fixed, by mythtv developer reverting the change in mythtvbackend that changed the behaviour of 0 (zero) byte files, it is on github now (for those who build their own mythtv backend), and will appear in distributions e.g. Ubuntu in a day or two. Note the reverting of the change was only done for 0.27.x because it is used widely.
For Mythtv 0.28-pre (which I am using) the problem exists and will not be reverted (the change in the mythtv backend changed behaviour under certain condition, so that an error condition was correctly reported) and will require a change to janbars new version.

I'm happy to have a look at the mythtv pvr plugin, but I'm rather lost trying to understand all the options existing right now... and which module does what.

For the cmyth plugin (this is the one affecting most people) the code of interest is in :
xbmc-pvr-addons/lib/cmyth/libcmyth/livetv.c
at https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons.git (gotham repo )
For the new plugin mythtv, which uses Mythtv Services API, the code is in :
xbmc-pvr-addons/lib/cppmyth/cppmyth/src/mythlivetvplayback.cpp
at https://github.com/janbar/xbmc-pvr-addons (master repo)
