I am running Plex Media Server v1.13.4.5271-200287a06 - ubuntu PC x86_64 - build: linux-ubuntu-x86_64 ubuntu
My DVR is an HDHomeRun CONNECT Quatro 192.168.116.243:80
Scheduled recordings of NBC Nightly News and the local news on the same channel are no longer recording. I have deleted and re-created the scheduled recordings, re-scanned channels and updated the guide.
I see where recording is failing, I’m just not sure why. Any suggestions?

I did not. I had Plex running on a Virtualbox VM and updated Ubuntu, Virtualbox, and the restarts helped but I was still having intermittent distorted video and audio. I now have Cox and will continue to test Plex.
