Intermittent Freezing

[getawaycar]

Hi everyone,

I’m having a recurring issue with my FVP-4000T where playback often freezes or stutters, especially with recorded programs. Live TV seems fine, but when I try to watch recordings, the video occasionally locks up for a few seconds or skips.

I’ve checked the signal strength, restarted the box, and even tried using a different HDMI cable, but the issue hasn’t gone away. Could this be a hardware problem? Maybe something with the hard drive or an internal component?

Any advice would be appreciated — especially if anyone’s had similar symptoms and managed to fix them.

Thanks!

Freezing on playback implicates the HDD. You've not said anything about trying a disk format.

I've tried [mention any troubleshooting steps you've already taken restarting the recorder, checking the aerial connection. However, the problem persists.

What is this? Does this garbled text suggest the OP is using a script or some kind of AI??

Could be copy and paste.

I've been experiencing intermittent freezing during playback on my FVP-4000T.

Are these recordings from one channel or multiple channels? Is this recent, or do older recordings freeze when they didn't previously? What happens when you watch the channel(s) live through the 4000T (ie. Not using your TV's tuner)?

When you say that you have tried restarting the recorder, was that just using the button on the remote, or did you actually remove mains power from the PSU?

The latter sometimes sorts problems out.

Perhaps, but why, from where?

Don't know. Possibly another site.
(My experience with the other Humax site is that editing quotes in replies is a pita. Of course, I could be doing it wrong. This sort of error would be easy there - but not here).
