Lots of interrupted TVE channels (live and recorded)

So the last few days I have been getting a lot of interrupted recorded shows and lots of pauses on live Tve channels. I have rebooted my router, modem and my nas, but same thing is happening. Anyone else having and issues? I tested my speed and I’m running 115mb down and 20 up. Just asking

Same issue here

Ok so it’s not just me then.

Same problem here. MSNBC seem to be the easiest to reproduce this on. It can barely make it two minutes. But TBS doesn't seem to have a problem.

I’ve also had the same issue lately!

Just noticed it on CNBC this morning.

Yea msnbc is bad. I also see it a lot on USA network, but that’s not the only channels. I thought it might have been my router. See that others are having issues I guess it not the router.

Same. Days now. Just came here to find a solution. I thought it may have been a space issue after having read another post, but I’m only using about 1/2 of my 64GB.

Other than the one comment referencing TBS (a Warner station), the problem seems to be confined to NBCUniversal channels. (I noticed it this morning on USA; I thought at first it was only issues with the live stream, so I made a test recording which was mostly fine, except for a few spots where a second or so content just seemed to be not there.)

I highly doubt this is anything to do with Channels, and is instead an issue with the source feeds.

Edit: After the recording finished, the resulting file was only 57 minutes long, instead of 60 minutes, so I guess it was more than just a second here and there that went missing. I have a copy of the recording log in case anyone is interested, but I know those are a bit daunting to parse.

Is nbc.com/live streaming reliably?

No, the problem is present on the feeds on their site, too. Same issues as exhibited when viewing through Channels.

I guess we can definitively write this one off as being a source issue.

I just tried the website and it's pausing on there too. It shows a spinning disk for about 40 seconds during the pause(hiding behind the speaker icon)

I mentioned that TBS wasn't having problems since more info is always better when hunting bugs.

But good sleuthing figuring out the source is the issue.

In the latest dvr build I increased the timeout from 60s to 120s so it doesn't give up in case the stream recovers eventually.

If there is a support link on the nbc site please email them to tell them it's not working reliably on their website.

It appears this issue may be resolved. I was able to successfully record 6 hours of programming that for days I had been unable to do so without getting the “recording was interrupted” message.

I sent an email to NBC support yesterday, no response yet. Recording the show on NBC.Universal channel it was interrupted. Lost about 4 minutes total.

Just wanted to report that I've been getting freezes every time the commercials start on both the Pac 12 National feed as well as the Los Angeles feed. Haven't tried any of the other channels.

On which device? Happening on recordings too?
