<div> </div>
<div>I had the exact same problem, and Steve is correct, the hard drive can't write the buffer to the hard drive fast enough. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I solved the problem by doubling the buffer on the HD-3000 card in the MythTv Setup. Under capture cards, select the HD-3000 and then go into advanced. There are 2 settings set to 8xxx. (I can't recall the names, I am not at home) I just doubled the numbers to 16xxx and restarted the backend. Problem solved for me.

<div>Hope it helps,</div>
