To both can you share records of stream 5-10 min long for analyse.
I'm guessing operators use some cheap encoder or badly configured PC streamer

You say frontend is on the same machine, so I'm guessing that is Kodi. I'm not sure if you can see the tvheadend logfile on the box to see if it logs any errors about overflows while recording.
I would install Kodi on a laptop, enable Kodi's tvheadend PVR (remember to change IP address in its config to whatever the backend is). Then play a recording that fails on your tv. Does it work on your laptop without artefacts? If so, it's likely to be a Kodi issue on the S912.
If it fails, then I'd connect a USB keyboard up to the S912. Play a recording on S912 and press "Ctrl-Shift-O" (IIRC) (that's the letter O) to call up detailed information on the playback such as bitrate. Does it fail only on channels with a "high" bitrate?
IME, the xbox tuner is good for the price but requires a stronger tv signal than my other tuners, and my computer tuners all require a stronger signal than my tv. So you could always try moving the box right next to your signal without the 10m cable and see if that solves anything.
