DP-P2 : Just ABC stations glitching (recordings) - sometimes
Hi. My ever-reliable DP-P2 has started glitching on some ABC recordings; SD and HD. From what I can see, the signal quality is excellent. Glitching means freezing and jumping ahead during playback. Makes the recording unwatchable. I record the ABC News (SD) every night and there's no issue. Yet "Insiders" glitches virtually each week. Puzzling! Any ideas? Thanks.

If you can record the commercial networks in SD and HD without problems it suggests an aerial problem or interference on the channel 2 frequency.
Look at your aerial for signs of bent or broken elements.
If other channels have problems too then check the disk for errors. If that's OK check the fly lead from the wall to the DP-P2 and check the aerial and the download.
Your problem appears around sunset so there's a chance it due to atmospheric changes in early evening. These are very difficult to cure so let's hope it's not the problem.

Thanks you very much for the quick and informative reply. Actually it's mainly in the morning (Insiders). I live in an apartment and can't even see the aerial.Your problem appears around sunset.
As a test, I watched Insiders (SD) 'live' on the BW on Sunday morning...and not one error/glitch.
I also record:
- 7:30 (ABC) every night it's on
- MAFS [don't judge me ] every night it's on
- SBS News, every night
