I had originally tried and found that the frontend cannot set a blank 
recording groups, so I assumed that would not happen.

I recreated the error by setting a recording's recgroup to blank with a 
database update.

I found that mythfrontend (Steppes theme) does not handle the empty 
recording group well. It puts the recording into the default group on 
screen but also shows a blank recording group button that jumps around 
and cannot be selected.

I fixed it in leanfront by defaulting the blank recording group to 
Default. I have build a new package with this and a number of other 
improvements.
