[QUOTE="nick8571, post: 880854, member: 126449"] The TBS 6981 is a twin DVB-S2 tuner (both HD-capable) - I've even had "Daybreak" on ITV1 HD recording at the same time as "Breakfast" on BBC1 HD, and Daybreak carries on quite happily where Breakfast fails. Both recordings are scheduled to start at the same time (05:57), but Breakfast always starts a fraction earlier, which made me wonder if the first priority tuner was a bit weaker, but Daybreak recording on its own (obviously using the first available tuner) still completes with no problems. I'll feel very silly if it is in fact a conflict of services (as looks very likely to be the case), but in my defence I was completely thrown off by the fact that only BBC1 HD is affected... the only explanation that makes sense is that something about the strength or composition of the BBC1 HD stream makes it more vulnerable to interruption than other channels. Even then, it seems odd that it would manifest as a silent failure of TsWriter with no other obvious symptoms. I won't be counting my chickens anyway until I've had a few days of incident-free recordings... :) [/QUOTE]
