7750 arrived last night, but unfortunately it did not solve my problems.  I now believe my issue is with my tuner or the way I am assigning it to the VM.  It is a hauppauge dcr-2650, is anyone out there using the same?  After the 7750 did not solve my issue I thought for sure it was network related, but to rule out the tuner, I copied a recorded show to a PC I am hoping to get rid of, and the video was skipping at the exact same spots where as other shows recorded from the PC are all fine.  To add the tuner to the vm, I just add a USB controller device then add the dcr2650.  I tried using passthrough of the USB ports but then the dcr2650 wouldn't show up on te vm and is not listed as a passthrough device.  Is my tuner assignment wrong, does it need to be passed through and possibly causing record issues if I don't?
