Re: Buffer issues!
Everyone seems to be missing the point of what I tried to explain (except spiderplant) but that also could quite easily be my fault (what I wrote was quite cogent in my head) however I'll try again.
The buffer stability issue will only arise when you are at the very beginning of a buffered channel (1 hour behind time) and when watching from that point is where I have experienced the dropping of 10 minutes or so (it could be less time but I can't measure the lost bit, I may have exaggerated). I don't do it often but enough to see it happen, I can't say it happens on every channel but it has materialised enough for me to be bothered to post.
spiderplant then posted what I thought was a good explanation for what might be happening "If the speed of the incoming channel is even slightly faster than the playback, it has to start dropping data". If you are never at the beginning of the buffer you will not have any experience of this issue, he has even proven me completely wrong about my recording the buffer issues.
The bottom line is I've got to thank spiderplant and apologise to Carl!
