the issue still remains. Going to try to swap the my amp as soon as<br>
my buddy returns the spare one, but I don't suspect that will help as<br>
my HDHR recordings don't seem to have the same issue. Not sure what<br>
is left to try at this point, replacing the HD-PVR maybe.<br>

If so I have a patch you can try. It does NOT solve the issue, but I think it *may* help reduce it. Then again, it may do nothing -- I just may be a little luckier lately.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have the same problem even when just using "cat /dev/hdpvr0 > test.avi" outside of myth, so there may not be anything myth can do about it. The problem has gotten noticeably worse for me, since upgrading to Fedora 14, so I am wondering what change there. Did the driver change? Did the scheduler change? Is there more contention on the USB bus?</div>
<div><br></div><div>At the same time, I can record many shows without a problem. Once thought I have had: is it channel related? In other words, do some stations have the problem worse than others? Do some channels send out a "cleaner" signal? If it is due to "cleanliness" of the signal, is a problem with video or audio or both? I am convinced that some STBs have the problem *much* worse than others, which also indicates a "signal" problem. Of course, one could blame the HD-PVR for not being more tolerant of "bad" signals.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The HD-PVR also comes in a variety of hardware revisions. I have a "rev c2" and a "rev e1". I have not kept proper records, but I believe my c2 is slightly more prone to the problem than the e1. But, like I said, it could just be luck of which unit tends to be used to record a given channel/show. There are those that blame aging wall-warts for such problems. If my c2 does have the problem more than the e1, it could be because that wall-wart is older.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For me, even with Fedora 14, the "glitch" /only/ happens a couple times an hour (at most) and usually does not happen at all. But it is annoying when it does happen.</div><div><br></div><div>
