I just purchased a Liteon LVW-5005x and I noticed while viewing television broadcasts through the Liteon's tuner, I often get jerky video. It's kind of a like a video card that can't keep up with the graphics. The recordings that it makes, even when the video appears to be choppy through the tuner, play back fine. It's just when viewing something through the Liteon's tuner I get the choppy video.

Is this common or do I have a defective unit? I need to figure this out because I only have a week left to exchange this unit. As long as my video recordings turn out ok, I guess I can live with it. I'll just be sure to switch it back to the dvr's tuner when watching tv.

Does it only happen while recording, or just normal viewing? If it's while recording, some recorders play-back what has been recording. If it's one of those units, then , it's kind of normal. If it's doing that during regular viewing, ...nothing being recorded at the time, sounds like there might be a problem.

It happens with both while I'm viewing tv through the Liteon's tuner and when I'm recording. It doesn't always do it. It just occasionally does it. The weird thing is that when I play back that same video on the recorded dvd that was jerky to view, it's not jerky at all.

Is there a lot of motion in the part that's jerky, most of the recorders now-a-days are just a PC (Computer) minus the bells and whistles, they do the job pretty well, but can get bogged down. do you shut the unit down, (let it rest) periodically?

No. It doesn't seem to depend on the speed of the action being televised.

No. I don't really ever shut it down. The problem is that I need to buy some high quality rca splitters for the audio because the Motorola 6412 DVR only has one set of audio outputs. That means that I have to watch everything through the LiteOn's tuner even if I'm not using the LiteOn tuner. It's either that or I have to physically switch the audio connections over to watch it through the DVR's tuner for when I'm watching regular TV.

O.K., try keeping track of when it happens(video problems) in reference to the last time you shut it down, ...I used to get calls from people having problems with Windows 95, I asked a lady one time when was the last time you shut your computer down, she says "the day after I bought it" ... when did you buy it ma'am, she says last christmas (2 years ago) (time to re-boot).. DVR's and DVD recorders are really just cut down computers.

Have you though about an "A/B" box for the audio, same as physically switching it, but it's done through the selector box.
