TV server: Choppy video recordings (1 Viewer)

[MightyPolo]

Hello,
i have been using MP since 5 years and its great thing.
But last few builds i have problem with choppy video recordings from tv.

I also get no tv signal message from time to time when i want to watch live tv.
I searched forum and installed StreamingDiskIOFix v3 and it get better but there are still chops.

TV signal is reported by MP 99, checked with set top box and the tv signal is ok.

Here is log from last recording i realy dont find anything wrong there:

are you using a tv server on 1 PC and the client on another PC?
i have that happening to me also on some channels ..im probably going to bite the bullet and get myself an SSD drive if this keeps up

Hi its on the same pc (server+client) and it was not problem always.
Dont know what was changed.

What about signal strength is it ok when recording?
Becouse i found out that it is not always happening, so maybe the dvbt card does not have as good signal reception as settopbox?

Just guess.
