DVR Freezing -- Could Slingbox be causing it?

[Widescreen]

Well, now that I think about it... the output from the DVR passes through the Slingbox on the way to the TV. If something weird is going on in the Slingbox to cause issues with the passthru, I guess it's possible.

If you see the same issue on a different output that doesn't pass through the Slingbox first, then it's something else.

My slingbox (Slingbox AV) isn't a passthrough. It just accepts an S-Video or composite output and then sends it out via ethernet. But even for those slingboxes that are passthroughs, it might affect the picture on the TV but wouldn't have any impact on the DVR itself which was the OP's issue.

I didn't think of that. Still...it's a PassTHROUGH, not a Futz-Around-With-The-Signal-For-No-Reason-And-Then-Send-It-To-The-TV.
