Thanks, While I think you're right about this - in general,
I don't think it's the cause of my problems. Tonight I will try
shutting down the frontend on this box and see if by chance that makes
a difference, but somehow I doubt it will matter. I see the
corrupt video show up solely dependent upon co-capture with the
PVR-350. It doesn't matter if I'm watching live HDTV or have the
frontened main menu displayed and I'm just capturing standard
definition digital content. Concurrent recording with 1 or even
both tuners of the PVR-500 does nothing to the stability of the
FusionHDTV 5 lite stream, it is fine. In addition, I can capture
with both PVR-500 tuners and the PVR-350 tuner all at the same time and
see no issues with any of the streams... Finally, it doesn't seem
to matter whether I'm capturing HDTV
stream at approx 7GB/hr or standard definition digital stream at
1GB/hr. <br>

Without the PVR-350 in the box- and I'm only using it as a 3rd analog
tuner, not for TV-out, the system is rock solid- and the only time I
have any issues is when the PVR-350 is capturing. In all honesty,
I'd just take the card out, but I'm using it for the remote
control. I know I could just run a 2 analog, 1 digital tuner
setup and leave the PVR-350 unconfigured, but it "should" work fine and
if the card is installed in the system, I might as well enable the
tuner for the extremely rare need for 3 concurrent analog capture
streams.<br>
