Thanks, I think you're right. I copied the file to a PC and played it on
there and got similar results.

I'm using a HD Homerun with DVB-T broadcasts. Recently I also installed a
DVB-T PCI card to get more simultaneous recordings. Is the problem more
likely to be signal strength or I/O bottleneck? I guess signal strength can
be fixed with some sort of boost device, but an I/O bottleneck would mean
buying faster disks.
