</div>I hear you. I've had issues like this in the past yet have somehow got<br>
through them.<br>
<br>
You may have already tries this but I did have to replace my power<br>
supplies on my HD-PVRs. When the power supplies were failing it would<br>
cause these types of issues. Double check but I think the power supply<br>
is 5V 2A. IIRC I swapped one out with a 5V 2.5A and the other with a 5V<br>
2A both of which I happened to have lying around.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I found a 5V2A wall wart laying around, but it had the wrong size pin. I cut and spliced from the Hauppauge power supply, and I am testing it now. So far, so good. This might just be the problem! </div>
<div>Many thanks for the suggestion! I'll probably order another power supply that isn't cut/spliced, or ask Hauppauge if they would like to comp me one.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, I spoke too soon, it seems. With the makeshift power supply, I was able to get 30 minutes into a show before the Poll Error occurred. I've tried multiple recordings, and it seems to be consistently better than it was, but it still fails. Where it used to be 3-5 minutes before failure, it now seems to be closer to 30 minutes. Very disheartening. I thought this was the answer to my problems...</div>
<div><br></div><div>I should also point out that I checked my STB, and it is set to send 720P, with 4:3 override disabled.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I've also seen the hd-pvr respond badly when they get hot.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Yes, heard that too. Mine is near the exhaust fans in my home theater cabinet, so I hop it stays cool enough.</div>
