need help with mount/recording

my mount says its setup ok, and i can browse and playback file form my pc over the network on the dreambox but when i try to record anything from the box to the share it only records about 5 seconds then seems to stop

even if i use timer record

if i leave the recording running, then the file it creates has like 5 seconds of footage then it (the recording not the playback file)skips to about say 30 seconds in and i can see 5 seconds more repeatedly

any ideas why?

I don't know which image you're using, but if you can switch the tuner driver, give that a go.

Are you recording via a wireless connection, as that can generally cause all kinds of stability issues, particularly for recording.

It could also be the case that you've just fallen victim to the Dreambox's recording shortcomings. Enigma/Gemini images can produce an awful lot of errors with the Direct Record method, sometimes to the point where the recordings are completely useless, though if the error pattern is as consistent as you suggest, that may not be the case.

Not to sound like a typical helpdesk worker, but have you tried rebooting your PC? You'd be surprised how often that sort of condescending advice actually works. :)
