After a quick bit of advise please where I should look for an issue we've been having for a while.
In summary problem is watching HD recordings we get a lot of break up like it had bad signal with picture breaking up and sound dropping out, I've only noticed it on HD recordings and gets a lot of complaints when the important bit of Corrie is broken up etc!
It seems to have got worse over recent months and have tended to assume it is aerial related as we have probably the original 1970's aerial on the roof, connected through a couple of F-type joins due to relocating of tv due to house extension etc. and some big trees between us and the nearby transmitter (Brierley Hill). It didn't change for better or worse when all the channels shifted frequencies recently.
The only thing is I have never seen it glitch like this on live TV, we were watching BGT tonight before Millionaire and watching it from chase recording and it was breaking up a lot. It has been sat there rest of the evening on HD and SD channels without any issues at all afaik watching live.
Rewinding and you get exactly the same break up so it is logically at reception or record stage, not the playback process.
I've just gone back and fast forward watched through one of the programs we watched live and the recording that was being done seemed fine though could have missed glithc of course.
Could the recording process be getting interrupted due to disc errors, other processes or the like? Are there any logs I can look at which might tell me why?
Any pointers appreciated, wil have a look through all the logs I can find and turn off some of the extras to see if it helps - did run a disk fix recently due to getting stuck in deleting loop, but has been doing the glitching before and after that though.
thanks
