[mythtv-users] DCH3200 STB and abbreviated recordings

[Kenneth Emerson]

Can someone explain what might be happening to my recordings off of my
Motorola STB DCH3200?  All of the shows recorded from this input are of HD
content.  Sometimes the recordings are fine, but frequently the shows are
cut short anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 minutes from the end of the
hour-long show.  Below is an example of one show that ended up being 49
minutes long instead of 60:

2009-08-09 21:00:07.347 Started recording: In Plain Sight "Don't Cry for Me,
Albuquerque": channel 7738 on cardid 8, sourceid 7
2009-08-09 21:00:08.593 scheduler: Started recording: In Plain Sight "Don't
Cry for Me, Albuquerque": channel 7738 on cardid 8, sourceid 7
2009-08-09 22:00:00.632 Finished recording In Plain Sight "Don't Cry for Me,
Albuquerque": channel 7738
2009-08-09 22:00:00.704 scheduler: Finished recording: In Plain Sight "Don't
Cry for Me, Albuquerque": channel 7738
2009-08-09 22:00:01.142 Finished recording In Plain Sight "Don't Cry for Me,
Albuquerque": channel 7738
2009-08-09 22:00:01.219 scheduler: Last message repeated 1 times: Finished
recording: In Plain Sight "Don't Cry for Me, Albuquerque": channel 7738

There were no errors inbetween the start and finish except for the normal
getting started errors of:

2009-08-09 21:00:11.506 [mpeg2video @ 0xb6e5a640]Missing picture start code

Which only last less than one second.

Pulling up the OSD info during playback shows the total length of time to be
49:xx instead of the usual 60:xx minutes.  I must be doing something wrong.
I'm using broadcast method and using mythprime to set up the comm channel.
I can watch live TV OK.  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm duplicating all
of my recordings on the STB on my PVR150/350 SD cards (and that is a pain to
do since MythTV works so hard to avoid duplicates!)

Thanks in advance.
