Yep. That's the issue. Supposedly the problem was squashed in the PVR drivers some time ago, but I ran into an issue where all of the sudden out of the blue, I was having timestamp problems that would not go away. I ended up removing the card actually. When I upgraded to a new MB/CPU, for giggles I put the card back in, and it works fine now. I think the card was failing a little bit and/or had some incompatibility with the chipset of my MB.

the guys above pointed you in the right direction.

For your recordings that you already have, run VideoReDo and then perform a quickstreamfix on them and it should correct the timestamp.

Thanks guys! I did a 3 show test, back to back on one channel, and they all appeared to record correctly.

I'll find out for sure when there are back to back "House" recordings on USA again.

I think it's time to retire my PVR150's - now I wonder what card to get. With Hauppauge's timestamp problem and the cards not working in Windows Vista/7 64bit I think I stay the hell away from them.
