The Hauppauge card is a hybrid that does analogue or DVB-T (Freeview) but I
assume from your posting that you are using the DVB-T portion. When you receive
& record DVB-T the MPEG2 stream is recorded direct to disk so when played back
it has just the same quality as the original broadcast.
I suspect what you are seeing is glitching in the received transmission due to
marginal signal strength. A bigger, better aerial may be necessary or simply a
cheap signal booster may suffice. All the DVB-T cards appear to be less
sensitive i.e. require a higher signal strength than even the cheapest Freeview
Set Top Box.
