Every weeknight I record the local NBC news, and I have the timer set to extend an additional 31 minutes for the national newscast. I have been doing this for years.

Since upgrading to  v6 (from v4) a couple of weeks ago (to allow me to run Kodi v20) I have had a very odd glitch in this recording every night. 

At right about the 48 minute mark into the recording, the tuner switches from  NBC to CBS. The video stumbles. loops. and otherwise misbehaves. The audio also glitches, with sometimes one or two very loud noises and looping as well.

When I pause the recording. the time counter (in Kodi) will show multiple incorrect or crazy numbers. for example. -43:50:51 / 1:01:00 - (which the second part is correct. as the timer is set to record for 61 minutes total. The timer then just basically aborts.

Do I need an exorcism performed?

We'd need to see the zipped logs, there usually is a more logical explanation.

Yesterday and today you have your EPG update overlapping the recording. Is that something new? It definitely causes a problem with the tuner being used for recording and EPG scanning. Maybe ensure all your channels are set to Schedules Direct or None.

Code:
2023-02-01 17:59:02.029    [DEBUG][12]    Started recording (1700:1:C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV\TempRec\NBC 2 News at Six\NBC 2 News at Six_20230201_18001830.ts)
2023-02-01 17:59:02.040    [DEBUG][12]    No C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\scripts\ParallelProcessing.bat
..
2023-02-01 18:45:38.451    [INFO][152]    About to update EPG

and it does use the same tuner for an EPG update and the recording on different muxes.

Code:
2023-02-02 18:48:50.308    [DEBUG][153]    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I just checked. and the EPG is set to download daily at right about that time as you stated.

Can the EPG update in the background overnight if NPVR is not an "open" active program?

I don't recall selecting an update time, nor do I remember ever having done so before...

NextPVR.exe doesn't even need to be running the server runs in the background and for most Windows users it will wake up the server if you put it to sleep.

There might be a bug in NextPVR using a tuner when it shouldn't but it is best to avoid the overlap altogether. I'd fix those channels that don't use SD too
