It is probably the hopper harddrive BEGINNING to fail.
All programming goes thru the harddrive before out to a tv.
That is how you get rewind function.
System Status check shows your signal is strong so that is not it.
The harddrive is STARTING to fail, but has not yet died, so it still works and tests good.

If you don't have protection plan, get that first.
Then schedule a tech visit (free with protection plan) to replace hopper for bad/skipping harddrive.
