Thanks for replying, I cannot see any leakage.

Thinking about it, they might not have broken at the same time. The
second tuner might have broken a while ago, a very few recordings have
been broken for a few months, but I thought maybe one frequency was
changed, or it was just a bug somewhere. It seemed to be on the same
channel every time, probably because I had a low priority recording of
the news every day. It is not very often I record two shows at once.
The third tuner has not been used for a few years, but it has been
installed in a machine that is often on (one of the frontends).

I might try installing a Centos 5 with the old kernel just to
double-check but I suspect that they are all broken.

Anyway, I am now in the process of buying another card.
