When playing a recorded program, there is intermittent sound loss, pixelating, or complete stoppage for a second, as though there was bad reception, but it doesn't happen except on playback.
Check your signal strength on your second tuner. Dont forget to check all satellites and, if you use the signal meter instead of system test, a few odd and a few even transponders.
It sounds like it may be low.

I have the sam problem playing a recorded program, there is intermittent sound loss,
pixelating, or complete stoppage for a second, as though there was bad
reception, but it doesn't happen except on playback. It is not bad reception, it is related to the recording on the hard drive. I have had temporary luck by reformatting the hard drive:
With power on push the red reset button on the front of the unit. When it comes up to the blue "hello" screen and then turn black push and hold the record button and down arrow on the front panel of the DVR, for at least 5 seconds. The record light should come and reformat the hard drive. This is a LAST RESORT AS IT WILL ERASE ALL PROGRAMS AND ALL SETTINGS you have previously made.
