Is it all your dvr-ms files that are 6k (5.5k)? Are you using an ATSC card? Sub gave me a fix not too long ago. Changing a setting in the config.xml file did the trick. The problem came back once, but I rebooted and I seem to have good recordings now.

The fix is posted here.

Only when I reboot my machine do I get a perfect recording. Every recording after that is 6k in size.
I'm using a Hauppage Nova-T card.

Many thanks for this the link....
Unfortunately the <BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnRecord> is already set to false. (yet I am getting 2 recordings per show, see above in log file)

I can't see the extra patch you describe.
