I am also getting washed out recordings. After what version of the vl4-dvb
drivers is this resolved in?
Also, prior to upgrading, did playback of these recordings appear damaged
in some way? I get periodic blocky playback with these recordings. It also
seems to be skipping frames as well. Logs show some errors during playback.
