It's a bug. I patched it a long time ago when I was using tvtime but 
never submitted it and now it's long gone (I'm using ivtv). It wasn't 
difficult to patch so if you have the time and can submit a patch that 
would be great. From what I remember I changed it so that when using 
frequencies I had Custom set as the country in freevo.conf then patched 
tvtime.py so that it in turn set Custom in it's xml file instead of US 
Cable when it saw that. I could be wrong though it was around 3 years ago.

We'll need some more info - the relevant settings from your config and 
excerpts from main.log and recordserver.log.
