[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 671429, member: 57999"] I reckon you ought to be able to record two channels at once with that system, certainly if they're not HD broadcasts. You shouldn't need to do anything clever with settings. Recording two streams to the same drive works fine - you end up with seriously fragmented files, but it doesn't really bother the system (I do it all the time). You could check the processor use while recording from both tuners to see if it's using too much CPU time (although I wouldn't expect it to). Is it an old hard drive you're using that may not have enough bandwidth (again, unlikely if it's a 500GB)? Do both tuners work fine on their own or is it possible that the second tuner is always stuttery? I suppose it's possible that an antivirus is continuously scanning the recording files and causing a slowdown. I tend to exclude the recording (and timeshift) directories from antivirus. Good luck!
