I too was having problems with freezing recording to the PVR. Shows would record for no more than 30 seconds and then the receiver would lock up and require a reboot. I was using a 3.5" 200GB IDE Maxtor in a USB enclosure.

I was about to trade in my Premier for an Elite but after twiddling around for a bit, the PVR problems went away when I switched the hard drive to another USB enclosure of the same make/model. Now my PVR records without a problem and I'm very happy. I don't understand why the problems came about or why they went away, but my suggestion would be to try another enclosure or HD altogether to see if it helps any.
