[mythtv-users] (only some) failed recordings on my HVR-950Q

Brian,

Any ideas as to why the 950q isn't reliable? Sorry, no.  But I can
tell you you're not alone - both Adam Jimerson and I have hit the same
problem.  My solution has been to yank the second device (but even
then it very occasionally fails to record).

Some possible data points

- it's digital OTA

- the speed of the system; mine's a nvidia ion which is more than fast
enough to handle the throughput but possibly slow enough to expose
race conditions

- when trying to watch live tv, that tuner sometimes claims to not be
getting a lock on a channel while a different tuner (1850) tuner has
no problems
