V6 box pixelates and freezes on playback
My V6 box has recently started to freeze and pixelate when playing back recordings. I thought it might be something to do with work being carried out on our area by Virgin, but that has been complete...

The pixellation - live TV being OK proves your incoming signal as fine, broadcast TV doesn't use the internet so rebooting your router is futile. Try pausing live TV for a short time and watch it delayed - this is also a recording and uses the hard drive in the exact same way. If this pixellates and breaks up, it's a very good sign of hard drive problems - if so, this can't be repaired and will ultimately mean your V6 needs replacing.
Refusal to play recordings from channels you can view live is unusual, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's another symptom of HDD issues. Test the pause and go from there.
