Ok, so I recorded the same NFL game on 2 different SBEs each with it's own
HDPVR today to try to isolate the issue to a hard drive, etc.  We were able
to watch the recordings at first, but then stopped it to switch TVs.  Now
both recordings won't play back at all on any of my 4 FEs

Thinking more about JYAs suggestions:

dying hard drive - seems unlikely since I can scp the file to a windows
machine and play it back with vlc just fine.  Also these BEs get a lot of
use with shorter recordings that play back just fine.  I also moved this
recording to a 3rd backend and see the same errors there.

a very slow ethernet connection - I see the same error when the FE and BE
are on the same machine

overly busy backend - I still have this problem after the recording stops.
I don't allow any jobs to run on these backends as they are SBEs.  If
there's something else I can look for on this BE?


Any other suggestions as to how I can troubleshoot this?

WAF has plummeted.... this is our 3rd week in a row with this issue during
NFL games...

Thanks!
Dave
