If a nearby electric device such as sewing machine or power drill corrupts the DVB-T reception, sometimes the corruption keeps on corrupting the recordings hours after the electric device has stopped being used.
It can also happen when Comskip consumes excessive CPU and IO resources, but I changed the play_nice settings and this hasn't happened for a while. Today a power drill corrupted the recordings, not comskip.
The corruption can be really bad, causing excessive blocking and flooded grey frames, or a complete halt of the video. This continues on and on until I restart the PC. After the restart I get a perfect picture.
I'm no AV expert but it seems the TS writer or demultiplexer's timing/video position goes haywire.
Note that I do not use the Media Portal front end, I just use the TV Server to record the TS files.
Tuner: Hauppauge Nova TD USB stick (Dual tuner mode)
OS: Win8.1 Pro 64bit

Storage: Samsung SSD 750GB
Codecs: Default in MP 1.6
Logs are attached. It happened around 7-8pm 9th Feb, and the day before. (Winter Olympics on ch10 were the corrupted recordings)
