The symptoms you describe occur when there's a signal issue. Live TV may work normally, but remote commands may fail. When you press a remote button for a cable box function (pause, reverse, FF, etc.), the box sends a command to a Cox server which sends back a reply. Playback will freeze if the reply from the server is never received. This would also apply to live TV when selecting pause, reverse and/or FF). TV commands (on, off, volume change) are unaffected.

Live TV ff and rewind work fine and streaming works fine. Just issue with DVR recording playback

It could be a defective DVR. It would require a bit of effort, but before swapping it and losing all of your recordings, you could try testing it at a different cable outlet.
