Am I the only one that has problems with recordings on NBC? They sometimes freeze and pixilate. It's only NBC and it isn't all the time, but it's really annoying. I live in southern Ky. Didn't want to call Direct, afraid they will want to send another receiver and I have to much on it to lose. It's a HR34 and it seems to be only late night shows I.e. Jimmy Fallen and SNL. Thanks.
What's With Nbc Recordings Freezing And Pixilating?

There is a known issue with some NBC local stations and the HR34. If that's the problem you are seeing (difficult to know unless you find someone else in your area with the same issue) the only fix is to replace the HR34 with an HR44, and that is incredibly difficult to get DirecTV to agree to do.
It's like Russian roulette with some of these IRD's. Have you tried hooking up an AM21 to get OTA and see if the local station is doing the same thing? I am wondering if maybe the hard drive in the unit is going out and the only replacement for that would be to swap out the receiver.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the hard drive on these HR34's, they released it too soon when it was new, without taking their time for testing, Just to respond to the Hopper. I know it's not local broadcast issue related, since it's a known issue among HR34 owners, But not sure if Directv engineers know about this issue, unless they were sent reports.
But not everybody have this issue.
