@Ma4
Looking at a thread you were involved in back in May, and "joining the dots" a little, I suspect you migrated from a TiVo & V6 to a 360 & mini.
That does mean all your recordings are on the master box, and the mini is just a slave. This won't help you now, but if you had either 2 x V6 (converted or otherwise), then both boxes would have fully functional hard drives. Changing from a TiVo to 360 directly does bring the issue of losing the second hard drive.
With that in mind, I suspect wireless signal strength will be at least one of your underlying issues.
