media info puts out same info as "proper" recording.

Do PBS recordings made in the middle of the night (or at a completely

Yes

Originally did just on this host, but then did a "on all hosts" per your
suggestion. I only have 1 backend, so not entirely sure what the difference
would be. Also deleted video sources as well. No difference -- still
exhibiting same recording issues.

Yes

Nothing

A network tuner, but nothing else trying to grab it.

Honestly, I'm at wit's end on this. It's not a hardware problem. It's not a
signal quality problem--my hdhomerun is the only thing hooked up to the
cable feed, and it's one meter from the verizon fios box and hooked up
directly. There are no splitters or anything that could weaken the signal.

Every other channel appears to work fine, even the other PBS channel that
shares the same transport as the PBS channel that has the ProcessPAT
problem.

So I've just gone ahead and marked the working PBS channel with a higher
recpriority and let it handle most of the recordings.

At this point all I can do is assume it's something in the broadcast source
that the mythtv backend just chokes on. Or something goofy with the
hdhomerun driver in linux. Either way, there's nothing I can really do
about it. Maybe try an antenna to see if it's a problem created by FIOS's
rebroadcast on the cable system and not in the original FTA source,
although if I was able to get a decent antenna signal in the first place, I
would even be bothering with clearQAM through cable.

This was *not* a problem recording the same channel on Windows. So it's
clearly a linux or a mythtv issue.

If anyone has insight or other ideas, please continue to post in this
thread, but I've expended way more mental capital that I expected to on
mythtv when I set it up in the first place. I guess I'll just let
recpriority take control to minimize recording on the problematic station.

Thanks
