With 0.28 and Ceton -

Since April I have had three recordings where the picture has been
occasional pixellating flashes on a green background. The audio was
broken into brief snatches. One time it was the same channel on the same
night, two recordings back to back. In all cases the log reported many
gaps in the recording and it was flagged as damaged. I think it may have
been a Comcast transmission problem. One of these occurrences was
automatically re-recorded by MythTV (on the same night) before I noticed
the problem. The others were not re-recorded as they were not on the
schedule a second time.

Are you using version 0.28?
Were the recordings flagged as damaged and allowed to re-record?
