I just added a Avermedia A180 to my system. Picture looks great! Recordings
look great. So I set a dual record the first night while I'm at work, one HD
show, one SD show at the same time, my whole purpose of getting a 2nd tuner.
Get home to watch it, it shows in the now playing list, but selecting it, MCE
says something like "recording is corrupt, delete to make room for more
recordings?"
Thought, well maybe first day, something wasn't right with computer, a snag
or something happened, so fresh rebooted, tested live tv on both tuners, had
no problems. So day 2, set 2 HD shows and 2 SD shows to record while at work.
Again get home and again same problem. SD shows work fine, HD shows corrupt
(show only a few bytes in recorded files folder).

So today while I'm sitting in front of the pc, I schedule 2 shows to record
at the same time, and it records both! CPU usages was about 60%, but recorded.

So am I missing something?

I have MCE 2005 with rollup1 pre installed
Dell 8400 3GhzHT w/1G ram(800Mhz)
120G Sata HD (50% free and recently defragged)
ATI 128M Pci Video Card (a little lacking, but does it affect recordings if
MCE is not open?)
Avermedia A180
Ati eHomeWonder Tuner
Have these drivers from Avermedia & Ati:
x300: 6.14.10.6525
eHome: 1.17.24.233
A180: 1.2.2.23

I have at or above min specs on Avermedias site of 2.4Ghz, 256Ram, 64M
Video, DirectX9, & analog tuner.

Thanks for any advise
