In the past I had recording errors with my HVR-2200 also. The solution 
was changing the antenna to get a strong and noise-free signal on all 
channels. As I said in an earlier post I believe the HVR-2200 tuner is 
not that flash when fed a weak and/or noisy signal.

If you have a TV with built-in tuner check signal with it. I needed 80+% 
power and SNR measured by the TV to get good recordings. I found 
measuring signal/errors from the HVR-2200 with software (forget which) 
problematic.
