Hi Nick, I have the same problems to you, albeit occassionally and for some reason late at night. I record using PS mode because I view all recordings through my Pinnacle Showcenter, so TS mode is not an option. During PS recordings all audio tracks are recorded I believe so sometimes it's possible to switch audio tracks as discussed here. Unfortunately for me some channels in Australia i.e. Channel 7 in Sydney one audio channel is silent hence when a glitch happens the primary audio disappears and I don't get anything at all.
My wife loves Myth and now can't live without it but this one problem is causing some heartaches especiallly when its one of her favourite shows. I am in the process of rewiring my antenna using quad RG6 and amps hoping to get much better (>75%) signal strength according to Myth scans and testing the latest CVS. Anyone know if this is still a problem in the current CVS and what I can expect if I do the rewiring? Nick if you find a solution like to hear from you. Thanks, Barry.
