Hi John,
I also have problems with recording multiple programs since the beginning of December. I wrote about that at the Dutch forum yesterday (http://forums.openpl...leem-vu-ultimo/).
In my case it is a problem to reproduce the problem. If a programme is recorded and before that programme ends two other programs start recording, I often have the problem that the recorded channels have bad video: the video is shown 2 seconds, stops a second, is shown 2 seconds, stops a second, etc. If I watch the programme life that is currently recorded I see the same behaviour. If this happens and I try to zap TV programmes, the VU+ Ultimo freezes completely: I cannot do anything.
Do you have the same behaviour?
If I restart the Ultimo, the recording of the two channels continues without problems.
Last week I installed the firmware of December the 6th and did not have the problem since, but my kids recorded less channels simultaneously last week.
BTW: I have a VU+ Ultimo with two sat tuners and two Canal Digitaal cards inserted (one is for vacation).
