When I tune some channels, I can playback only ~5 seconds of live video before it freezes. Attempted recordings of 30 minute programs on these channels only record ~5 seconds. Below is a log file showing the errors that I am receiving.

I am able to tune and watch the channel using dvb5-zap without any problems. The verbose output from that program is posted below
