I have an intermittant problem where I get 0 byte recordings (DCR-2650). When these zero byte recordings occur, the recording service crashes, and I have to manually restart it. To get around this, I've set the recording service to restart automatically when it crashes... and this works to some degree. Now, the recording service tries to restart, but it apparently cannot, until the zero byte show has finished "recording". The attached logs show a recording attempt (Glee) which shows two attempts to record. When I looked at the Glee recording folder, there were 30 zero byte recording attempts. Later on in the evening, Letterman recorded successfully. As far as signal strength goes, I've removed splitters, added an inline amp, and now have 100% signal strength and around 90-100% quality on my DCR-2650. I'm wondering if this could be a problem from my providers side (Comcast) where intermittantly no data/low signal strength is delivered. Has anyone else seen a problem like this?
