I'm able to record, via schedule, every show successfully. Except one.
Seal Team will start recording, then abort after a random number of minutes. It'll start recording again with a small gap. This will happen 6 to 8 times during the one hour show. It's the only show that does this.
Any clues about what to do?

A guess... under WMC Settings > General > Automatic Download Options, are any tasks set to run during this timeframe? Or in Windows scheduler? I don't think it should matter, but I've read of issues...

Is this OTA or Cable?
Go to setting->TV->Guide->Edit Channels and select your CBS channel that you are trying to record on. Click the Edit Sources button and take a look at all the sources. At the bottom of the page, you will see a Quality percent for each one... if any are low, then your signal is probably going in-and-out. Note that the recording tuners (sources) you are looking at are not necessarily the same sources you use while viewing live. If you have some sources with high quality, then disable those sources with the low quality.

No tasks scheduled. Other channels recording during the same timeframe are fine. I'll try Gary's suggestion. I'm cable only.
Thanks

With cable only, they all should probably say 100%. I don't know if the preview will be able to show you anything while looking at the sources to see if it has problems.

They all say 100% like you said. The strangeness of WMC and I'll guess I'll have to put up with it. Could be Xfinity, or the Ceton ETH cards, or the network, or the Ceton drivers, or the PC, or Windows 7, or....
