Grrr really banging my head with this.

I went ahead and deleted all channels/inputs/cards - added just the
HDHR again by Device ID as before. Channel scan found all available
channels. 

First recording on first tuner would succeed. First recording on second
tuner would also succeed. Any following or overlapping recordings would
fail.

For shits and giggles, I deleted/re-added the HDHR By IP address. Same
results as By Device ID.

I'm going to try a couple of things -
Different switch.
Different NIC.
Separate NIC directly connected to the HDHR.

I don't _believe_ it's a NIC/Switch problem-

RX packets:202295651 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:228218912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
RX bytes:126526965247 (117.8 GiB)  TX bytes:334597996826 (311.6 GiB)

I have a day or 2 before the 30 day return policy expires. If I can't
get the HDHR to work reliably, I'll exchange for 2 HVR1250's.
