What tuner are you using?  You say you run SVN trunk to use the HDPVR.  But
you are saying you are watching a OTA signal.  First OTA highest res is
1080i.  Second,  the HD PVR cant capture video with out some type of tuner.
If you want to record OTA you will have much better luck with a OTA ATSC
Tuner card then the HD PVR daisy chained to a STB OTA tuner.  Plus the HDPVR
is considered VERY Beta right now and you shouldn't expect it to work
properly at this stage.

Please clarify,
Mitchell
