Hi BobbyG,
I have the same problem you describe.
Buffer playback causes a freeze with sound continuing then about a 2 sec pause. This is quite random.
The only way I can stop this from happening is to backup all recordings, then start again. I believe it is caused by a fragmented recording issue, I have asked Philips if they can provide a feature to defrag the hard drive, still waiting for a reply.
The 6hr buffer is recording to HDD, but if you have deleted recordings then space on the HDD becomes fragmented and the buffer, while continueing to to fill up has to jump around the drive for space. Try contacting Philips and asking them to implement HDD defrag feature.
