Offhand, the first thing I would ask is: do you have the SD version of the
channel in question? Is it possible the scheduler is bumping the recording
to there? (This question has a lot of moving parts; it will require scanning
the log files to determine where you actually recorded something, I think).
That would explain 480i, though perhaps not 720p.
