John,

My parents have a similar setup, two HDPVR as well, two frontends can
start live tv fine and play, but at the show change marks one of the
frontends stops playing, the other seems to ride through the program
change fine, but not always. The recording files for the new shows get
created and have data, so it seems as though the backend is properly
tuning and recording which is also what I see in the backend log.

is this somewhat similar to what you're seeing?
