Well, as I mentioned all my recordings are MPEG2 from a HDHomerun.  It's
possible it's stream errors from the broadcaster but with all the HDHR users
on this list I figured I would not be the only one having problems.

I've done some searching on my irexec problem but haven't found anything
helpful. I'm basically using the same startup script as wilsonet.com.
