My HR44 Genie DVR is freezing frequently. It is *ALWAYS and ONLY* at the end of a commercial in live TV. Once it freezes, it stays there, unless I reverse a few seconds, then fast forward past the final frame of the commercial. All the content is there. If I back up, then hit play, it always freezes in exactly the same end frame of the commercial. The latest incident was the end of a Lexus commercial on Fox News channel a little while ago.
All sats are strong and good. Receiver is otherwise, perfectly fine. No pixelations, no dropouts, no weather (perfectly clear blue sky and no wind).
I ran the hard drive surface test in the advanced diagnostics, with 0 errors.
As others have mentioned on the forum, this appears to be an issue with local advertisement insertions. It has only started fairly recently.
