[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 689176, member: 82144"] Hi folks So this is still an issue for both of you? I have some general questions first: 1. Is this a problem on all channels and combinations of channels, or only particular channels/combinations? 2. Is the issue only with HD, or does it also affect SD? Generally speaking I think the issue could be caused by one or more of the following: 1. Bad signal 2. Bad HDD, or HDD not fast enough. 3. Bad drivers/codecs (least likely). [USER=107100]mundy5[/USER] Did you test your 2nd tuner by itself? From your logs, it looks like the signal strength/quality on that tuner isn't as good as the first tuner... When you say that the picture stutters with both recordings in progress, do you check both recordings... or only one? The "Program clock reference forward jump" and continuity errors that I can see in your TsReader logs often indicate bad signal, but it could be caused by an HDD that is struggling to keep up with the load that you're putting on it. Ideally you want your timeshifting and recording folders to be on a separate HDD to your operating system.
