Dvr so choppy I can't watch it. It has been that way for about a week. Error 16976096
Where do you see that error code?
Are the recordings choppy if you play them with VLC on your Mac?

yes still choppy
Where are you pulling those logs from?
It seems like you have a bad antenna signal. Are you getting choppy playback when you watch live tv too?
I haven't tried that, could be a possibility. I will check
