Fast Forward issue

I often have a problem fast forwarding through shows where it reaches a certain spot in the show, freezes, and then reverts back to the beginning of the show. If I then fast forward again the exact same thing happens as soon as it reaches that spot. If I hit Play just before that trouble spot, I can get through the glitch with no problems. This has happened on the old software and now again on the new software. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes, not very recently, (but recent), I have had recordings do that, & you have to let it "play" vs FFW, to get past the 'spot' ....

are the recordings on channels that have local ad insertion?

I most recently had the problem while watching a show recorded on ABC and it froze during national ads.

I thought this was fixed with IMG 1.9.1. Are you on that release?

I believe it is a problem on the VOD server, not the STB.

I was watching a recorded show on my DVR, not VOD. I'm on release 1.9.1.
