Pausing DVR program freezes the system

If i pause live tv, the program freezes, I cannot play from that point, I cannot rewind from that point, the only solution is to turn off the DVR (not full power down)

  • when I perform the above step, most of the time the sound does not start (it is as if muted), I have to turn off the DVR again (not full power down) and sound returns

Try a red button reset.

DVR model number?

When did the problem start?

In addition to the reset I would suggest making sure your hard drive is not full. In your playlist it shows percentage of free space.

Thank you, everyone!  I appreciate you helping a novice out.  This seemed to work.

Restart your receiver two times with ten minutes. Reset and when the picture comes back after about 5-6 minutes do a reset again. Give the guide 24-48 hrs to reload the guide and artwork.

If that does not solve your issue then you most likely need a new receiver.
