Have you seen this, one frozen channel?

I think this is different than what others have posted.

I have an HD-TiVo. I started to watch some movies I had recorded from Turner Classic Movies. They would all start, then the video would freeze but the sound would continue, then it would stop entirely. I was able to download a movie to my MacBook and the movie ran just fine, so the content was there.

I then tried TCM live (something I almost never do) and I saw that it too was frozen. So, I took the next logical step and rebooted the TiVo. Once that was done TCM live was fine and I could record and playback a movie.

OK, that was good, but here is the strange part. I went back to the old recordings which previously would freeze up and now they would play just fine. A strange tangled web. Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts on why there is a link between frozen live and frozen recordings.

My solution is to restart the TIVO.

It has happened to me on a couple channels only in the channels in the digital tier of service. Restarting the TiVo has fixed the problem, but I also figured out that if I skip back 7 seconds using the instant replay button, it usually fixes the problem. Then I return to live tv after a commercial comes on.
