Tuner getting stuck

[haverer2]

Hi,
This evening I recorded the xfactor... after about 20 minutes the recording stopped... only the tuner was still apparently being used (as shown in ntray) - It meant that, although I have 2 other tuners, I couldn't switch to watch the show live for some reason.

I stopped the recording, the tuner freed up and I was away again...

Then the same thing happened again a while later??
I've zipped the logs in the hope that someone can identify something that I can't ...

If there's a sudden drop in signal for example, does that cause the recording to stop and the tuner to get stuck...? I woulnd't have thought so...

Thanks for any clues.

might point to the problem. Strength is 100 (as earlier) but quality is 0. There can be any number of reasons for this, noise, faulty tuner, signal too strong etc.

Oh! Thanks for taking the time to look at the logs :-) Perhaps I'll blame it on the weather.... no it's fine.... the swaying trees... no they're not moving and are not in the way.... the church tower... no that's not moved.... Oh well!!!!! ;-) Will keep an eye!

Thanks again
