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?

This was on the first tuner of the PVR050.

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.

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.
