Hello, I am switching my NPVR server from a decade + old PC (i5 processor, Windows 10) to a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (stripped down current Raspberry Pi OS - Bookworm, I think). I am continuing to use an HDHR dual tuner, and I am recording OTA programs, a mixture of HD and SD shows. I've only recorded a few shows on the RPi so far (shoulda read the instructions more closely about disk access by the nextpvr user, too way to long to figure out why access to the mounted NAS drive was denied) so I don't have a great comparison of how these recordings look compared to the ones off of the PC (I'm viewing the RPi recordings using Kodi on a new Mac Mini, on an old Dell monitor, compared to a large LG TV for the PC).
My question is, should I expect the quality of the recordings on the RPi to be equal to the recordings on the PC, especially when two shows are being recorded at the same time? The RPi currently is booting with the user interface (I've deleted just about everything extraneous from it, and once everything is running smoothly I'll switch it to booting to the command line interface to save resources).
Thank you
