this is definitely a strong candidate, PS recording is deprecated, because
it's flakey. You should change all your capturecards to use TS regardless.
You can do this quickly int the DB with

update capturecard set dvb_recordts=1

Not necessarily, there are lots of variations in each stream dependent on
content. Is it always the same program that causes trouble? e.g. I had a
lot of trouble recording Law & Order: Criminal Intent on five in the UK
until I changed this setting.

One last thing, have you checked your aerial is still pointing where you
expect? :-)
