I have 2 HD DVR boxes. Lately each box seems to "freeze" during playback of the various programs I have recorded. I am not able to fast forward or rewind the program. If I stop the playback and try to view the program from the beginning, the video again freezes at the same point. It is almost like there is a corrupt file for that area of the program. Is there any way to remedy this situation? It seems to be happening more and more on both set top boxes. Thanks!
I have the same problem on a QIP6416 HD DVR. In the past 2 weeks 3 different recorded programs have frozen during playback and cannot skip or fast forward beyond the frozen point. I can delete the frozen program, but problem has re-occurred several times in the last 3 weeks while other recordings are OK. It does feel like a corrupt file, or bad disk blocks on the DVR, or messed up file structure system that a chkdsk in a Windows environment would fix. Is there are any solution to resolve this problem?
Formatting the drive through the diagnostics menu. Start over. You will lose everything, and if the drive is going this may finish it.

This has happened to me twice lately. during hockey games. Luckily, I was watching about a half hour behind live, and the game was still on (in third period) when the recording froze ( midway through the second). It is the mtoroloa multiroom dvr.
