When you say "We are able to download maybe one or two shows and then due to stalls and buffering the recording stops" you mean that the downloading stops, right? Recording happens in the cloud, bypassing your system completely.
POC is sensitive to congestion, so if there is congestion at the time when you try to download, the downloads will slow down or will stop. Unfortunately congestion can pop up at any time.
Hi maratsade, what I mean is that if I queue three 1 hour shows to record between 2:15am and 7:55am, the forst two shows record fine but the third records only 2 minute of frozen frame and then stops. I get a message that my video has recorded.
Playon is researching this. The same effect happens during peak times like right now when I just tried it for them.
I am not usingPOC. I have the app on a dedicated Win10 Laptop.

Gotcha.
So you have PlayOn Desktop, or do they make a PlayOn Cloud app for PC? I used to have the PlayOn Desktop app and it was awful.

I have it on the PC and there is no cloud app for PC. When did you try it and what was so awful about it?

OK, so you have PlayOn Desktop. I had it a couple of years ago and I had two main issues: Recording AND downloading both use data (so your data gets used up very fast), and downloading was very spotty and often gave me errors, so I had to keep trying to restart the download.
I ditched the desktop app and went with PlayOn Cloud. It uses no data at all to record, and I have very few issues with downloads.
