Video freezes on 625

[JerseyGuy]

Got a new 625 a few months ago and every so often the video will just freeze. Wierd thing is that if I hit the Skip Back button everything it starts to work again.

I'm using software L296

I don't have Dish, mush less a Dish DVR, but the symptoms sound like either the harddrive or it's drive contoller going bad. If the DVR has the ability to let the user format (of course losing any stored programming in the format process), you may want to try that, if you did not already.

Of course, this does not preclude the possibility of it being a software, RAM/ROM/BIOS or other component issue.
