I hate to tell just "Me Too" but for me corruption of streams only takes 
place if I have CAM module connected to my DVB card (Technotrend) AND 
only on that particular recorder AND only on some channels which seem to 
have nothing particular in common (encrypted/non-encrypted, some work 
fine some not) .. Other cards in same box have no such problem. For 
example, with that particular card, same channel which has problems with 
CAM connected works fine if I take the CAM ribbon header off the card.

I have tried almost anything imaginable (including different kernels, 
different motherboards, hard drives etc.)
