GT - Sorry missed your previous post - now see you already had that conclusion.
I suspect it would freeze in chase play.

If this is trying to change channel using the EPG then this is a common issue (for me anyway). But changing channel using the Channel List, using P+ or P- or keying the channel number directly always works for me.

The problem is with the P+ and P- and after 30 mins I cannot access the EPG

Does the epg display if you press the schedule button on the remote and then the red button, rather than the guide button ? Do the other overlays like the menus, programme info, live pause etc work and display on the screen ?
I suspect you may have a problem on the HDD drive in the sectors that store the timeshift buffer file (0.ts), around 30 mins from the beginning. If you have the custom firmware you could try renaming the existing 0.ts to force the box to create another on a different part of the disc. If this works it's time to replace the hdd. You don't say how old the box is, most came with a 2yr warranty.

Purchased 09/09/2010,therefore will chase upo warranty tomorrow, thanks
