I think the media players are to blame here. At least Xine seems to have difficulties with HDTV material. Have you tried recording with other

Well, I can play perfectly HDTV material with xine and mplayer here, without any problem :-) -- Grégoire Favre
I may have been a bit vague there. What I meant was that Xine (at least, don't know about kaffeine or mplayer) puts a very heavy load on the CPU while playing HDTV material and that could be the reason for the blockiness. Also the definition of HDTV material is quite flexible. 1920x1080 is a lot more information to deal with than 1280x720. I think EURO1080/HD1 uses 1080i format.
