Lately I have had issues with Plex not recording or stopping the recording early. At first I this was possibly due to a poor tv signal, but while I was watching live tv via the homerunhd spoon my apple tv I got a notification on my phone that the same show had finished recording km plex. The show was only half over. There was no signal issue at all. This need a fix so plex records what ever is presented to it. So if it a poor signal than the recording maybe jumbled. If there is no signal than show a blank screen. I know other dvr services do this.
Would you please post debug level server logs covering the time of a failed recording? Then we may be able to see additional detail to understand what is causing the failure.

It just happened again.
I see a lot of slow database queries in your logs, and also messages that Plex is having problems communicating with your HDHR tuner and is marking it as dead. I don’t know that this is what is causing your issue, but first I’d suggest optimizing your database:
Go into Plex Web, then Settings (the wrench in the upper right). On the left scroll down and click on “Troubleshooting” and then click on the “Optimize Database” button.
I see where your transcode service failed to respond in time, resulting in a recording failure:

Are you experiencing any general slow performance on your plex server computer?
You may not be aware but this is the last Plex version you will be able to run:
- (MacOS) This is the last release to support MacOS 10.11-10.12
I am surprised the Core 2 Duo was even able to work with Live TV & DVR at all. As Plex expands the its features they have required more an more CPU resources.
