Pvr recordings broken up

[old school]

I've noticed that some of my recordings that I had scheduled gets broken up into parts...for example, a 30 minute program will say ... (1) Leave it to beaver 00:16 1/3 and then I get (2) Leave it to beaver 00:14 1/3. Some of the recordings that are 30 minute programs and I only get 00:28 or 00:27. What could be causing this? I know what it is doing to cause the break ups...it's rebooting during recordings, but why? It does not reboot when I am not recording. This is a pvr 501

It randomly happens, alot of times. Most of the programs I record are 30 minute programs which randomly splits at any given time during the recordings. I have never read where anyone has had this problem. The receiver is rebooting during the recordings for some reason...therefor it is splitting the programs, therefor I am missing a few minutes of the program while it is going thru the aquiring sat process. BUT...this never happens when I'm watching without recording.

On same note...I have my hard drive mounted in an exterior compartment where I can slide it out and pop into my pc to extract recordings. The compartment has a hard drive activity light that shows that the hard drive is working. At times the picture freezes and when I look at the activity light its solid. When the picture unfreezes the program continues from where it froze, but moments later it jumps to real time. This may be why my recordings are splitting. Help! I 'm tired of this happening!

I am pretty sure Jack, you are on the right track. That B1 cmd has some really bad shit in it for cards. However, we don't pass it to a card, so it can't hurt us. That is why you see B1 execution failed. Using a real 102 card it would not fail. In another thread, they are talking about fake keys. Most likely, the original packet is not being decrypted correctly and it would look like a fake key to the IRD and card. It really does look bad for cards Jack and auto roll unless someone can figure out how to block certain parts of the B1. The provider is on to something here and as long as its working, the keys will not change. It looks as if the timing of the key sequence has horrible effects on cards.

Well it not doing any damage the the cards now.

My receiver started doing this, months ago. Just now did I decide to post for help.
