DVR Keeps Freezing

The DVR playback in our master bedroom keeps pausing, skipping and freezing up. Cables have been checked multiple times. Everything has been reset and refreshed but nothing seems to fix it.

Having the same issue here, DVR playback has been horrendous on any set top box, and just about every recording. Recently had all cables checked out and re-run, switched out router, nothing fixes this. It’s incredibly frustrating.

I have the exact same problem since my DVR was replaced due to recording conflicts. Now all the shows recorded on my 4K DVR are slow to respond, freezes up then sometimes starts the show over or sometimes it will ask if I am ready to delete even though I have not finished watching the program yet. Rebooting or unplugging doesn’t do anything. Internet is fine, cables are tight etc
