Firestick 4k DVR Playback Problem

[paulbates]

I have the HD Homerun 4k receiver running the App on firestick in a couple year old Samsung TV

I have it dvr'ing to a windows pc with a dedicated dvr drive. Most of the time it's fine. It selects and starts programs quickly. The pause/forward/backward perform fine, usually.

However, on playback, I'll hit fast forward to skip over ads. Sometimes, after 3 - 4 presses, the firestick 'loses it" and appears to restart. A Samsung Tizen boot screen can come up. Sometimes it goes right back to the HDHR program and continues, other times to the tv or firestick Home Screen. If I relaunch the app and program it goes back to where it was.

I can do the same recreate on my ipad and hold the forward/backward button down for many seconds and release and it lands and plays where it should.

I just did a recreate with 'send diagnostic info' on:
Device ID: 10AD6FA6

Low priority and can work around it, more FYI

How are you powering the Fire TV stick? Is it plugged into the power supply that it came with, or is it using a USB port on the TV, etc?

Thanks. I have a through-the- wall cable run up there with power to a power strip, so it got plugged in to AC power.

If you're seeing a Tizen boot screen, that means the TV is crashing, not the Fire Stick. I got no explanation for why a TV would crash because of something coming in over the HDMI port, you'll have to call Korea and ask them .

Yeh not surprised at that answer.
It is a really specific recreate so I thought I'd ask. I have to be less spastic on the FF button presses.
Thanks for reviewing. I am liking the device and software a lot
