TV backend with reliable recording database?

Greetings

I'm a long time user of DVBlink - started using it with WMC and now running LE with the add on.

Pretty much rock solid except for the fact their recording database gets borked regularly with no possibility to restore (see here) from the actual files. I was looking at switching to TVheadend but they seem to be no better on that point.

Is there another option that preferably keeps metadata with the files and otherwise works as well as DVBlink?

I'm not sure what the detailed nature of your issue is. I use Tvheadend with a NAS mounted to a folder. I never had any problems with the list of recordings. I have Tvheadend machine connected to one router and the NAS is connected to a different router, which is then connected to the Tvheadend router. So I'm recording over the network. I never had any issues with the recordings list, even when router to which NAS is connected had issues.

My recommendation would be to use Tvheadend.
