<div dir="ltr">Good Morning, <div><br></div><div>I've been running Mythtv for several years now and it's been very reliable overall. However, over the last couple of weeks I've noticed some glitches with my cable signal through Time Warner. When viewing a program through a STB plugged directly into the TV, this appears as a quick pixelation of the video which lasts less than a second and doesn't really effect the watch-ability of the program. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The problem is that when this occurs with a signal running through my HDPVR and Mythtv the signal will drop for 1-2 seconds. The blue light on the top and the red light on the front of the HDPVR will turn off and the Mythtv backend logs report this as "HDPVR Device Error Detected". The recording will successfully complete and plays back fine, but I will lose this 1-2 second portion of the recording, and there may be more than one location in a given recording where this occurs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So my thought is if there's a way to set a delay before the HDPVR gives up (similar to what would be found in a channel change script to allow the STB to tune and stabilize) I would at least have a workable solution while I troubleshoot the quality of the signal, etc. If this is hardwired into the device itself I figure I'm out of luck with that line of thinking. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Since this is a new phenomenon, I'm thinking I may have to end up working with Time Warner tech support and that usually ends up being an exercise in frustration and something I don't look forward to. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I would appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone can provide.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm running Mythbuntu 12.04.3 with Myth .27 fixes and I last updated on the 25 othf December. </div><div>
<br></div><div>Thanks!</div><span class=""><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Matthew Latini</div><div><br></div></font></span></div>
