Ugh, so first of all thought I'd come here as I don't have a protection plan and was hoping to get some assistance and see maybe if there is a fix to this.
I have been having this problem lately where DVR recorded material is pausing during playback. It occurs at certain points in the show/movie and in order to get past it I have to fast forward in order for it to continue. If I rewind 15 seconds or so and let it run it will again FREEZE at that same exact point it did before. It doesnt matter what channel it is it still occurs, doesn't happen with live TV. It's extremely frustrating trying to watch a show and it locking up constantly and having to ff. What could be causing this is my unit going bad? Is it the hard drive maybe? If I don't have a protection plan how much would I get charged for them to check it out?
I have not had DirecTV for long maybe about 6-7 months. FWIW my unit was brand new out the box.
