Same problems for us. Not sure which make but using a 500GB and a 1TB box.

The 1TB is the sending unit using the VM supplied Netgear powerline adaptors, via a Linksys 8500 router and cat6 cable to the 500GB

Doesn't seem to happen as often as it does for Heavyside but definitely 2 or 3 times per week. What we do seem to get more often is 20/30 seconds of spinning circle (buffering?) at the start of the playback but not all the time?? I would say >90% of use is HD.

I've not seen the link on the powerline drop below 250Mb (normally much higher) and speed tests always exceed 100Mb so plenty of bandwidth.

As the 500GB box is in the loft it's not easy to swap them around but what I will do is try them on their own dedicated router to see if that has any impact.

Cheers
