[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 671688, member: 57999"] I don't know what those errors are I'm afraid - hopefully somebody else will. I know the streams don't have to be processed/encoded, but HD does generate ts files something like twice the size of SD ones (or at least it does with DVB-S broadcasts so I'd guess it's no different with other flavours of digital stream), so I wonder if it could be a storage speed problem. Not necesarily maximum bandwidth, which is obviously easily enough with a modern drive, but with two files recording simultaneously the seek times and random access speed will affect it greatly. If I record two channels at once on my system with one of them being HD, the drive light is on pretty much constantly, so I wonder if it's close to having problems. I can't try it with two HD channels because I can't tune two HD channels at once with my tuners. I know I can WATCH a recording af an HD channel while recording HD at the same time, though (but again, the drive light is pretty much solidly on). Have you tried the second tuner on its own? It's probably fine, but it would be silly to waste time with other stuff if it's just a poor tuner or driver issue. Hopefully somebody will see those logs who knows what the errors may mean. It may help if you attach a full set of logs in case the problem is in other areas.
