Issues setting up NovaT500 (TV3 Jitter)

[sub]

Hi again,
I have finally got a chance to have another look at this issue.
Up until now, I have been downloading most of the programs I normally record.

I've just spent hours looking through the forum and reading the survival guide and have not found anything that helps me.

Just to recap: TV3 and C4 have very jerky sound. Sometimes also video.

Initially, I was recording TV3 which creates a huge file due to the full HD. When I played it back, both the sound and the video are extremely jerky. I thought I had fixed it by now recording TV3plus1. Now only the sound is jerky but still quite unwatchable.

I thought it might be a disk speed issue so ran a test where I recorded: TVNZ6,TVNZ7, TV1,TV2 and Prime all at the same time. All channels recorded without missing a beat. But the issue I have with TV3, happens even if TV3 is the only channel being recorded.....

What could be causing this issue?

It sounds like you're haveing problems on TV3, C4 and TV3plus1. These all share a single frequency. Maybe you're reception is not great for that frequency?

If you can upload a small-ish recording of C4/TV3plus1 to megaupload.com, I'll download it and try playing it here.
