Greetings fair list,<br>
<br>
I've been trying to track this down for a while now, with no success. My<br>
PVR-150 is exhibiting a very annoying display issue. This happens on<br>
live TV and recordings, and is unaffected by transcoding. It's in the<br>
actual files, so I don't think it's a playback issue... seems more like<br>
a tuner problem of some sort. Doesn't seem to matter what channel.<br>
Quality is fine when hooked up directly to the TV.<br>

Any ideas?<br>

The PVR-150/25/350/500 are of an age where many of them may be suffering from leaking capacitors. I just replaced 2 bad capacitors on my PVR-350 a couple of months ago, although the image distortion I was getting was different than what you see in the image you provided.<br>
<br>
Google 'leaking capacitors' for a description of what to look for.<br></blockquote><div><br>I haven't noticed any leaking or "popped" capacitors, but that's a good idea... I'll examine the card more closely. Thanks!<br>

Also, check your cables and connections, if you haven't already.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yep, have re-seated / reconnected things a couple times.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Another idea - have you placed any new components near your backend server, such as a source of radio interference? Or maybe near the cable leading to your PVR-150?<br></blockquote><div> <br>Nothing that I'm aware of. The "household geography" is unchanged. It's consistent and not affected by time of day, which should rule out lots of sporadic / intermittent potential sources of interference. I can unplug the backend and go straight to the TV with no issues (same cable), which should rule out most/all sources of interference outside the backend node itself.<br>
