No way to even guess without a --verbose log. Default value of 
--attempts should be sufficient.  As mentioned in earlier post, you 
should include <dldate> and <dltime> in --fileprefix with --type=livetv 
to generate new file for each stream restart regardless of current 
recording mode.  That may help get around failed resumes, but no way to 
know if that was the problem.
