Try toggling the Avoid Conflicts settings in  Settings > TV 
Settings > General (page 1)

Hit "Y" to switch cards.

Is that for all recordings, or only ones from the SkyStar2?  I find 
that DVB-S recordings suffer from a little jerkiness, most often when 
the OSD appears or fades out.  This is on an Athlon64 3200+ or 
X24600+, so I'm not normally starved for CPU, it just seems that's 
the way it is.
