[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 890888, member: 82144"] Hi Alan (and Ray :)) There are continuity errors in the TsWriter logs here and there. Causes of these include: 1. Signal issues. 2. HDD stress issues. 3. Overheating components. Your signal strength/quality readings don't seem to be that great. Normally I'd say ignore the readings, however I see *lots* of SAA7164 based tuner (especially HVR-2200, HVR-2210 and HVR-2250) logs and I've owned SAA7162 based tuners myself. My experience is that ideally signal quality should be 50%+ for reliable receiving. You're seeing 100% sometimes, but 20s and 30s at other times. If you really think your signal quality is okay then check that you haven't got real-time scanners (virus scanners, search indexing etc.) and other HDD intensive activities running in the background. Make certain that timeshifting and recording files are excluded from scans. Overheating is less common, but it does happen. Doesn't hurt to consider this. mm [Edit: PS: when you post logs in future, I'd appreciate it if you could consider wiping the old logs first. 25MB of logs going back to September 2011 is just a tad more than is required in this case. ;) 1.
