Roamio freezing up glitches

I may have had a similar problem last night while watching Frontline. I was about 5 minutes behind watching the program while recording it and at about 44 minutes in the video just stopped and sat there. after about 30 seconds I hit the play button and it was still recording so I hit the fast forward button and then play button real quick and it jumped ahead about 2 seconds and the video then played fine to the end.
I then went back to that same point and it happened again. I also had a old SP for Frontline on my other Premiere 4 upstairs and it did the same thing.

I have the winter update on both my Premiere 4s and I never had this happen with the fall update but had lock ups and then reboots with the summer update.
I have had stuttering of the video and sometimes freezing when streaming a recorded program from one TiVo to the other with the fall update. I haven't had a chance to test this with the winter update as I got it on Monday.

 

I am still experiencing freezes. What version is the new update? My software version is 20.4.4a.

 

I have 20.4.5 for a few days now and haven't notice any of the issues I was having before. Knock on wood.

Likewise for me. Got 20.4.5 on my roamio 2 days ago and no issues since. On the roamio or my 2 minis. Hopefully we're not jinxing ourselves!

 

It looks like I need to get the update too. I will report back with the results -- I hope I can report the same.

Thanks

 

Still waiting on the 20.4.5 update (put request in on Oct. 31)... still freezing... still driving me crazy!

 

I have had the update for 5 days and I am still experiencing the screen freezes. Oh well, I guess I have to send it in for service. Bummer! I have been a TiVo use since 2003, this is my first unit that requires a repair.

 

my pxl still has the freeze occasionally 20.4.5, but a quick 30 sec skip, followed by a few replays fixes it for me. it's only happened twice since the latest update.

 

Something is not right with 20.4.5 as my Roamio's where rock solid on the previous software but now I have to reboot them every few days as they become slow, sluggish and almost unusable.

My second Roamio was stuck rebooting itself last night but seems fine now.

 

I have been having the picture freeze problem for the last few days. Has this problem been fixed for all those who posted here in November?

 

My Roamio has been freezing up a lot lately.. it's requiring an unplug to get it going again. VERY annoying.

 

I just installed my Roamio Basic yesterday. It replaces an S3 that worked well for 7 years, and as of yesterday it was still going strong. I upgraded to the Roamio for the extra tuners. I got really tired of recording conflicts.

This morning I turned on the TV and the TIVO was frozen. It would not respond to any remote commands. I had to reboot to get it going again.

This is disappointing as I was expecting better performance with the upgrade.

On another note, I have TWC and I was worried about re-pairing my cable card. I've had horrible experiences in the past. However, this time the switch was painless. I only spent about 5 minutes on the phone with the TWC CSR and I was up and running.

I hope this freeze thing isn't going to be an ongoing problem!

Another problem that I am seeing is that when I start a playback, I get only sound without any video (black screen). In order to fix the problem, I have to return to the Tivo menu and restart the program.

 

Just to follow up, once I unplugged and restarted the Tivo, all the problems seem to have disappeared. I'm posting this just in case anyone else comes across this problem.
