Tried another experiment. I was wondering if maybe uneven performance on
me disk drives were causing problems. I have 2x1TB disk drives mirrored
using LVM.
So, I created a 2GB tmpfs filesystem to write the files to. Everything stays
in memory. Never goes to disk, so is much faster.
Tried to record ESPN News. They have a lot of sports replays. Same
skipping problem.
I opened a case with Hauppauge a week ago. They claim 2 day response.
Day 7 and I haven't heard back from them.
My impression is its scenes that have a lot of motion in them. Football and
Basketball I see jumps a couple of times per minute. Especially in highlights
which is constant motion.
I also had the jump problem when recording Saturday Night Live. They had the
Black Eyed Peas playing. They dance/jump around a lot on stage.
Maybe the HD-PVR just can't keep up.
