If it is one of the original HDHomeRun's, and you have not replaced
the power supply (at least once), it would surprise no one that it
is dying, and one of the symptoms is that one, or the other, tuner
may not be able to operate reliably (if can happen when both
need to work at the same time that one fails). If you have a spare
power supply, it should be easy to swap it in and check.
FWIW, each generation of tuner has gotten better at reception,
so it is also possible that the quatro can handle certain reception
issues better than one of the original devices. It is possible to
change the order of tuner selection such that the quatro would
be used before the original tuner if one wishes to use the quatro
in preference.
Note that the logs (and the recording details itself) should show
which tuner (inputname) was chosen for the recording, so you
should be able to determine which tuner was (attempted) to
be used.

I didn't realize that the tuner information is present both in
"upcoming recordings" and details of "recorded program" in mythweb.
Now I know it is the quatro that is failing. I noticed that most of
the time the original two tuner unit is used for recording. When
there are too many programs around the same time, quatro is used.
About 50% recording attempted with the quatro results in no
recording. I mean there are no files in the storage matching the
recording and backend.log has error message for them missing. Less
than 10% of the time recording is badly broken and stopped after a
couple of seconds. <br>

Yes, original hdhomerun power supply is new, but quatro is not. I am
sure it is, at least, 4 years old. However I can watch live TV with
it, and I do not notice any glitches or bad behavior. Is there a
better way to diagnose the problem? Can we measure something at the
outputs of PS? Or is it load dependent that it is best to check by
swapping PS? I think it is 5V, 1.0A PS. Hopefully, I can get one
from Amazon. <br>
