Video freezing after 20 seconds.

[Siddeley]

Live tv.  Video freezes after 20 seconds.  Audio still plays.  Up or down channel then back video will play for 20 seconds and freezes again.  Unplug and plug back in does not fix the problem.  Cleared all caches I could find, no change.  Hard wired.  

Cloned the mac to my 3900 It plays with no problem.  Both hooked up to the same tv same channel at the same time.   Swap hdmi ports makes any difference.

I would do a reset but I do not know how to save my kodi favorites.  (would be a royal pita to enter every thing again)

My u5 died just after the warranty ran out, this one is getting close to the end of warranty. 

Version 5.0947

Suggestions?

Thanks:

I switched to backup video and it is working for the last 10 minutes. 

Does that mean the primary video is corrupt?

[nbs.]

No it  does not

Thanks for the reply.

Just curious as why it was acting up.  I have never had to change the player before on any Buzz box.  The default player has always worked.

your service probably changed sources and they use different codecs
