Rasberry Pi Tvheadend Best tuner
Added by Neil Blevins over 9 years ago
All my recordings are pixelated. When I hook my antenna up to my tv it comes through without issue.
I am using a Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-950Q. Is there any suggestions for a better tuner?
Should I buy the 955Q and try it?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Neil

Have you tried changing the Cache Scheme for the DVR Profile?
Cache scheme : Select the cache scheme used to store recordings. Leave as “system” unless you have a special case for one of the others. Whenever you read or write data to the filesystems, the information is kept (cached) in memory for a while. This means that regularly-access files are available quickly without going back to the disc; it also means that there’s a disconnect when writing between the write request (from the application) and the actual write itself (to the disc/storage) as changes are buffered to be written in one go. Unknown : A placeholder status, meaning that the configuration isn’t properly set. System : Change nothing and rely on standard (default) system caching to behave as it normally would. Do not keep : Tell the system that you’re not expecting to re-use the data soon, so don’t keep it in cache. The data will still be buffered for writing. Useful e.g. in a RAM-limited system like a Pi (given that you’re unlikely to be watching while recording, so data can be discarded now and read back from disc later). Sync : Tell the system to write the data immediately. This doesn’t affect whether or not it’s cached. Useful e.g. if you’ve a particular problem with data loss due to delayed write (such as if you get frequent transient power problems). Sync + Do not keep : A combination of last two variants above - data is written immediately and then discarded from cache.

Thanks for the tip. It was set to Don't Keep. Hopefully system will help.
