I do not have the same symptoms from other Sky Italia recordings, mainly sport events. One factor that can compound the problem is that the channels I am recording are encrypted and the decoding is done through a real smartcard, real subscription connected to a serial smartcard reader. I'll try to isolate a couple of recordings and pass them through mplayer to check whether they come out clear. I do not have the dropouts when I burn the recordings to dvd with the burn plugin, but I am digressing. Cheers Mattia -- ---MR.-
