I am getting transient picture breakup on HD recordings. Generally maybe 1 or 2 per hour and each lasting a couple of seconds. I am not sure how long this has been happening but certainly for some months. I ran fix-disk at the end of May and the output is below (I have updated to CF 2.16 since then).
The signal strength on channel 30 (the London HD channel) is about 80% and the quality is always 100%.
Last night, I viewed an HD programme live while recording it. The live broadcast was perfect but the picture on the recording broke up for a couple of seconds about 17 minutes in. I assume from this that it is a disk-related problem but since fix-disk didn't seem to remedy it, I don't know how to proceed.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
