Howdy, folks! I've been in & out of the forums for about a week, trying to find an answer to this problem, but I've only thus far found someone with the same question as I!
I have the DMR85 and have encountered this problem a few too many times to not seek a solution: I record something to the hard drive. I try to play it (or dub it to a DVD.) At some given point in the playback, randomly, the picture and sound freeze and suddenly I am given a still freeze frame from something else I have recorded on the hard drive. After a couple seconds, playback resumes. And if I was dubbing, the dub fails and I am left with a coaster instead of a DVD.
Anyone out there know of a solution to this irritating problem? I cannot even 'edit' out the offending segment as the timer even stops moving.
- jow!

I have been suffering from a very similar problem for a couple of weeks. Last night I searched message boards looking for other similar threads and couldn't find anything useful - nothing ... then today I find this!
I have owned my DMR-HS2 for almost 2 years and it's been great. But recently, it has developed an occasional fault where it seems to 'freeze' during playback. This can last a couple of seconds or go on for ages (indefinitely?). Pressing Stop sometimes works. Sometimes the only way to get it to respond at all is to pull the mains.
I wonder whether I should reformat the HDD but am concerned that if a 'freeze' occurs during the reformat then I could be in real trouble!
Just bought an Emerson EWR10D4. Can't get the thing to show anything besides snow. Have an older tv with and rf modulator. Signal is dish network. I have tried everything, nothing. With the config. in the manual dish network still works,but when I hit display on the remote the tv is getting know signal. I would hate to take it back because I have really basic needs, just recording shows, so I would hate to shell out extra bucks just to do that. Any help is appreciated.
