Post subject:  R5E50 PVR-350 + PVR-150 -- 150 Tearing
I used this setup with R5C7 without issues. I've looked through the posts and hope I haven't missed a solution that's already been posted.

No problem with the PVR-350. It records perfectly. The PVR-150 on the other hand appears to be losing sync with tearing and blockiness. Switching the cables between the 2 tuner cards had no effect.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look in solving this problem?

(Tip for testing: By setting the 350 as the higher priority record card, the contents shown while watching live TV always come from the PVR-150 -- great for diagnosis purposes.)

"Attached" is
cat kern.log | grep ivtv

(Anyone know anything regarding the warnings shown at very end of output?)

:shock: How did I miss that! :oops: Changing the recording profile resolution solved the problem :D

For other noobs like me, you can find it in:
