Funny this should come up because I have something similar and my wife blew a fuse about it the other day because she lost a program she was trying to watch.

It is 100% of the time during live tv, and never during a recording. When seeking in any manner (ffwd, skip ahead, behind, rwnd), the system will just "freeze". Often it happens when I'm rewinding and I hit play to start playing from the current position. The info bar at the bottom will say anything from "rewind x3", "play" or "pause", but for the next minute or so, the unit is unresponsive. Sometime (often) after doing this a few times (trying to seek back enough) the frontend just crashes. Again, this usually happens when the unit has been left running for 20 min or more and she is trying to rewind to where she left off.

Before someone points out the obvious of "Why doesn't she press pause before leaving for 20 minutes" is that she has done that too, however then when she unpauses, it plays 2 seconds worth and then "freezes". I've seen her get frustrated and walk away and then 10minutes later the system "unfreezes" and begins playing.

My system is:
2.2 GHz Celeron
512 MB ram
pvr 250
Mythtv 18.1
FC3

Also, whenever I fast forward or skip forward the playback will stop. The info says play, but it isn't. I have to press Pause twice to get it to start playing again. While it completely freezes only occaisionally, it always enters this weird play/pause state.

I have been having this problem off and on also. Playback will stop, it I don't press any buttons it will eventually timeout and ask to delete the recording just like it was at the end of the file. I find that if playback stops and I press either pause or play (save / clear position) soon enough, playback will start again. It seems like pressing a button and sending the command to the backend triggers something that wakes the playback up.
