Mend Techwood Freezes Recorder Hard Drive

My Techwood freeview recorder freezes and skips on playback/recording?

My Techwood freeview recorder with hard drive has started to freeze momentarily then skip when playing back. Also if I try and record a programme and I am also watching another programme at the time, the picture I am watching does the same thing. The Freeview part works OK, I only have problems when recording and on playback. Any ideas?

I have self same problem, Techwood box worked perfectly prior to Freeview retune on 2 December, my location Wirral. Suspect problem may be due to change of specification in how stations are now being broadcast. I also have a Humax PVR which doesn't exhibit this problem.
