Short Freezes on Several Stations - Plano, TexasNoticed several short freezes of movies on the SyFy channel (and one or two other premium channels) over the last couple of days. They last about a second or so. Anyone else notice this? |

Oh, well, looks like I'll be calling Verizon to check my service and/or replace the DVR. If no one else is seeing this and given that I could rewind the movie back and repeat the problem consistently, it must be the DVR (or the feed into my home) and not the tv. |

I am having the same problems. It was just once in a while in the past, but the last couple of days have been painful with pauses every few minutes and then it stops for a while, but starts up again. |

Maybe it is the service and not the DVR. I'm in zip code 75023. Will be checking with Verizon tomorrow. Thanks for the input. |

I have not noticed any issues in Lewisville but we mostly watch live sports and the local channels. |

It happened a bunch of times today while watching Nascar on ESPN in VH05. |

Checked with Verizon - no known problem. Went thru the useless exercise of resetting the box. Told them if it happens again I will want the DVR replaced - at this point I think it's a feed issue. |

Have you checked that all the coax connections are tight? I have had this issue a couple of times on random channels and every time the issue was solved by retightening the coax connections. Just a thought.
I also live in 75023 and did not notice any general issues over the weekend. I didn't watch any SyFy though.

Laters, Jeff Yeah, all the connections were checked and are tight. The problem is very intermittent, maybe once a month or more, on only one or two channels. And even then it only lasted for a few seconds once or twice during the show. Also, some others have reported a similar issue. When you had the problem, did it remain an issue until you re-tightened the connectors? |

The only time there are consistent freezes is when a dvr recording ends. There is usually a 1-2 second pause. The pause only looks to impact the viewing. Have not seen the pause on recordings, although it is always at the end. This has been going for a couple of months and might be related to latest img upgrade. Overall, there seem to be more unexpected pauses and pixelations the past few months. |

Whenever my DVR starts to record a show or ends recording a show, the show I'm watching momentarily freezes. |

In my case yes but it could just be that when you turn off the box and remove the coax, it forces a full reset on the box.
