Just talking about the case that I've reported. I experience such issues only very rarely, and mostly related to bad reception. The reported issue related to blackness is very specific to this channel.
Do you mean that this is e.g. just related to ATV+? Does Lost on ProSieben play without problems? This problems also appeared with 24 from ATV+ (also black fades on counter jumps). Anybody commenting if there are also problems with 24 recordings from RTL2?
If it can help to better pinpoint the problem, I have same symptoms, and same cause (loss of audio/video sync on black fades - dark scenes) with almost all recordings of C.S.I from Fox Crime - Sky Italia and a lot of Battlestar Galactica episodes from Fox - Sky Italia in the last two years. I do not have the same symptoms from other Sky Italia recordings, mainly sport events. One factor that can compound the problem is that the channels I am recording are encrypted and the decoding is done through a real smartcard, real subscription connected to a serial smartcard reader. I'll try to isolate a couple of recordings and pass them through mplayer to check whether they come out clear. I do not have the dropouts when I burn the recordings to dvd with the burn plugin, but I am digressing.
