Re: broken recordings

Hello Christoph, 

That sounds like a good point but the data indicates that usb bandwidth should not be an issue.

I use a spare SSD device for the recordings and I have also tested with a classic hard disc and also with an NFS share. Always the same issue.

The performance of the SSD is:

14# dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=1M count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 45.2508 s, 23.2 MB/s

15# hdparm -tT /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 Timing cached reads:   710 MB in  2.00 seconds = 354.27 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  88 MB in  3.06 seconds =  28.75 MB/sec

A speed of 20+ MB/s should be sufficient to record an HD channel.

While doing this test I can watch HD TV without any artefacts. 

Any other idea? 

Matthias
