I would have to agree with JYA on this. My setup has 2 HDHR's recording
from antenna, an HD-PVR and a PVR-150, and I found that many recordings
were damaged or would have dropped sections (especially the HDHR
recordings, which led me down the wrong path of thinking it was signal
related), until a few weeks ago I upgraded my backend hardware (new mobo),
and more specifically moved to faster and dedicated drives. Since I've done
that, I have not had any of the issues that you are having, and that I had
previously.
