Can you post the -native log that went with that one?

Thats weird, there isn't a -native log containing Nov. 22.

Here is one from the 23rd, it probably shows the same problem that occurred on the 22nd.

My cable service stopped encrypting Discovery HD so I switched one of my digital tuners to QAM to get it. Almost every recording on this channel is failing for some reason. I'm stumped on this one.

Thats not the native log that went with it. I'd need the actual log to tell you want went wrong.
