</div></div>I'd like to resurrect this discussion (history here:<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/k9brVY" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/k9brVY</a> ) because I have a little more info. To recap,<br>
anything recorded with my HD-PVR has thick, horizontal bars of<br>
discoloration running up the screen. I have tried different cables to<br>
no avail. This is the new information:<br>
<br>
1. I have a video clip showing the behavior here:<br>
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oiNXsJVd_0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oiNXsJVd_0</a> . It's most easily seen in<br>
the first scene on the wall behind the characters.<br>
<br>
2. Most of the previous replies had to do with group loops and AC hum,<br>
but I have noticed that when watching on the TV through the HD-PVR<br>
passthrough (i.e. NOT recorded content) I do not see the lines. This,<br>
even though there is a second cable through which the signal must go<br>
when watching this way. That suggests to me that the artifacts are not<br>
in the signal when it gets to the HD-PVR.<br>
<br>
3. I recently had my HD-PVR RMA replaced. The old one was a C2<br>
revision, the new one is an F2. I am still noticing the behavior on<br>
the new box.<br>
<br>
Does this information help any? Could it still be AC hum even though<br>
it does not show up on the TV, despite the signal being routed through<br>
the HD-PVR? Thanks!<br>

What is your current profile settings as far as max bit rate and avg bit rate?<br>
<br>Just an idea.<br><br>/Brian/ <br></div></div>
