</div>There is nothing wrong in your smart data. 35000+ POH is a lot but I<br>
have seen a few drives make it another 10000 before they die.<br></blockquote><div><br>So the filesystem isn't the problem and it looks like the drive isn't the problem. I can't imagine the software would be the problem because VLC, XBMC, Xine, and mplayer all have buffering problems while playing my these recordings also. And some of the recordings are ATSC, some are from the HD-PVR. These are just data dumps from the devices; there's no processing by the backend.<br>
<br>I've got to be missing something. What should I check next? <br></div></div><br>
