[QUOTE="cewillis, post: 750363, member: 106719"] NO - not at all. Sorry. I AM annoyed at MP when something so simple as a QAM rescan breaks it, when TVs and my cheap DVR handle rescans routinely and easily. That's why I thought I must be doing something wrong. I don't understand this. I set MP to DEBUG logs, stopped MP and TV, deleted all old logs, restarted MP (which restarted TV), let it run through the problem scheduled recording, stopped everything again, and sent all the logs that were produced. What should I do differently? Whoops -- actually there is only one connector, with an internal divider. My mistake - sorry. Should have said two tuner sections. I certainly agree that a recording produced under the particular problem circumstances is 'dirty', and a tuner is the most likely to be misbehaving. I used the same QAM standard as before -- is there some application that can tell me positively what standard is on the cable? I will try asking the head technician for the cable company. Any suggestions? Are particular transmission frequencies known to be 'hard to tune' right? The fact that manually starting two recordings back to back works is really puzzling.
