I do NOT know the proper term, I tried a search for stuttering and skipping and came up with nothing although I know I've seen it befor. ]
I recentley added a 2nd 60gb samsung HD 5400 rpm, I have the newer hard drive cable. I also added some heatsinks inside on the hotest chips. The inside temp runs around 30-31c. The problem is sometines I get skipping, tearing, stuttering, whatever you call it. Most of the time it is ok but yesterday one program was really bad. Every minuit took about 5 minuits to view as the picture would hang and the audio would drop out, If I hit FF it would take minuits to get by it and when I let go it would jump back to the beginning again. A one hour program took about 3 hours to get through it with much lost audio but virtuallyall the video. Ther recorder was unatended at the time no updates or anything going on. Normally the audio just stutters ocasionally with some screen tearing. Normally its not really often but since adding the newest HD it is worse. Not every show only some and it doesnt seem to matter if Im doing something else with it or not.
Im hoping its just happining where the new 60gb has not been written to. Im in the process of filling the HD up to max, hoping that will fix it. The problem comes and goes, sometimes if you replay the part it clears up sometimes not.
Thanks
