Weird problem only when recording Smallville

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

I have tried recording Smallville from two different RTV units over the
last 3 weeks and each time it only records one minute and stops. There
are no programming conflicts and the machines have no problem recording
other shows. Any ideas?

On one machine it recorded for a few minutes and the other did give me a
No Video message. However, both machines recorded other shows both
before and after. It's not a cable outage because it happens every week
just for Smallville. Maybe it has something to do with Kryptonite

Good thought but no power failure message from units and no indication
from my home automation system which logs power outages. It's a stumper!
