Have been suffering 20 second freezeups for months....(Cline on an openbox sly F5 stb). Obviously I assumed that it was provider issue! Given that my wifi to internet radios is 100% solid, (BT5 router 58mbs), I decided to dig out the old wifi dongle stick sold as for use with sly openboxes, (£5?). So moved from ethernet cable via 500 TP lInk to wifi stick. Have deliberately left stb on scrambled channs to test. Not a single glitch / freeze in 60 hours!! Illogical. Amazed! Will probably go pete tong now!! If so will report back. Food for thought!!! Often worth trying the illogical!

Not a single glitch/freeze in 60 hours, that's a lot of solid viewing, and a surprising result, must be the best server ever.
Only thing I can think of is a hardware, or firmware, fault, to do with your receivers ethernet port, as I assume you've checked all cables. Have you tried a different receiver, on the same set up as your F5 box?
