The problem isn't cron jobs or random things popping up messing up
recordings. I think most of us agree that's par for the course for
using your pvr as a general use box. The problem is _every_ recording
being messed up in some way even when there is nothing else happening
that would cause the errors. And the problem is it's getting worse
over time. Over the past year the number of errors of this type I've
seen has slowly been increasing to the point where I get at least 2
per recording. Sometimes I get recordings that are half the expected
size. That's not normal no matter how much some people want to say it
is.
