Help diagnose bad recording

[snowmanaxp]

I recorded three shows at the same time.
I have a new Hauppauge PVR-500 and an MSI Theater PRO 550.

Both times I recorded the three shows it was channel 10 that had the bad recording.

The first was a recording of "The Office" at 8:30pm on 4/12.
The second was a recording of "Jay Lenno" at 11:30pm on 4/12.

I was wondering if I could get help finding out if the same tuner made the poor recording or if it was different turners.

I just added the PVR-500. I had it recording two shows at a time without the Pro 550 configured. And I had the Pro 550 working fine before I added the PVR-500.

I am going to see if it has anything to do with my splitter. Although every time I tried to test out 3 recordings at a time for short periods of time all three recordings looked fine.

What was bad about the recordings?

The first was a recording of "The Office" at 8:30pm on 4/12.

This was on the first tuner of the PVR050.

The second was a recording of "Jay Lenno" at 11:30pm on 4/12.

This was on the second tuner of the PVR500

The recording was fuzzy and bad looking. Like looking through a coarse screen door.
It is way worse than anything else I've seen.

I had another recording scheduled for today and the same thing happened on channel 10 again. So it probably is a channel thing. I'll try and look at my cabling again.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I see it now during live tv too. It only occurs on channel 10 on the Hauppauge card, both tunners.

I guess I got a bad card.

Is there a local channel on 10?

[snowmanaxp]

Yes, it is the local NBC channel. It records fine on the Theater Pro 550.

There was another person (smoker) with a very similar problem. I wonder if it is a tuner sensitivity problem. As a workaround, you could remove channel 10 from the Hauppauge's and then it would only record on the ATI.
