How do you know this?

Do you think that anyone else here records everything 24/7 using all
of the multirec channels available?  Your situation *is* unique.  If
it wasn't, the developers would be able to recreate it.  Do you
honestly expect them to buy and set up the hardware to mimic your
system so they can fix it for you?  They need your help to fix your
unique problem.  If you can't provide help, please stop complaining
that nobody is helping you.

And it's *your* system.  For all they know, it could be because of
some way that *you* set up your system.
