Saw a similar post with no resolution. In ALL my recordings there are playback freezes of typically 7-10 seconds where you see the playback timer advancing but the picture and sound has stopped. They happen randomly throughout all recordings with typically 5-6 in an hour recording. I've had to use another tool for copying recordings to my PC because this is so annoying. I've adjusted the advanced settings with no resolution and it occurs whether I'm on a LAN or WAN connecting to my Slingbox. Basically the product doesn't work well enough to use it.
