DVR Video Pause/Freezes/Pixilation

I am so tired of this.  It doesn't matter what channel I have recorded, EVERY recording that I have done within the past couple of months pauses, freezes, skips, and pixilates.

I am currently watching, or trying to watch, the 147 Westminster Dog Show that I recorded last night.

I say that I am trying to watch it because it is almost unwatchable due to the abhorrent video quality.

I am one step away from canceling my TV subscription altogether, because the poor video quality isn't limited to just recordings.

    Does the freezing effect live TV? If so, do you have more then one box? If so, does it effect all boxes? Overall sounds like either a signal problem or a dying hard drive. If it only effects recorded shows and only one box, then I would swap the box out at a Cox store.
