Don't think its the drive. I have two 2TB green drives using NTFS spanning to make a single large drive in my media center computer. I use the Centon cable card tuner to record 4 shows at once and all shows record fine. Back when I was just using two ATI cable card tuners I had a drive made from two 1TB green drives and that worked fine too.
