It Works For Me (tm).
I hesitate to mention it, but might there be any networking problems?
Ours was bought for my wife's TV viewing, and any more than occasional
misbehaviour would have resulted in serious earache for me. There were
one or two occasions when one channel just wouldn't work, but the other
channels were OK and it was clearly a server issue, the same program
was fine an hour or two later.
