Could you also try recording to USB stick instead of NAS.
Might also try rebooting network as my be a bug.

It's funny you say that.
I've just put a bare 6.3 image on and then setup from scratch.
Got to the point where I was recording 8 channels at once to the STB HDD so all great.
I then mounted my NAS and immediately frozen.
It would freeze virtually immediately when I rebooted so I unplugged NAS from Network so I could remove from STB and it behaved itself.
I then mounted it again and the STB froze.
I have no idea why the NAS is freezing the STB because it's been working on this STB since October 2021 and previous STBs !!!
I haven't rebooted the router because the wife will be upset so I'll give that a go when she's finished watching something on the Firestick.

Is the NAS actually freezing the STB altogether or does it just spool and become unresponsive when looking at the recordings list on the NAS?
If it's the latter mine is the same and it seemed to be movieplayer updating ts files etc.
I record everything to the STB now and move the recordings to the NAS on a cron timer.

Total freeze and I can't even FTP.
So nearly 1 hour and it's behaving with the NAS.
Who would think a reset of the Network would do that because the NAS has been working over the Network for Firesticks etc and of course WiFi has been OK.
So at this moment it looks like I had one fault, HDD going missing and the freezing was just a coincidence.
I'll have to see if the HDD stays connected, if not then I have already made a ticket with WOS.
I meant that I run a simple script from a cron timer in the early hours when no recordings are in progress.
mv -f /media/hdd/movie/* /media/autofs/RECORDINGS/ 2>/dev/null

UPDATE because somebody may have the same problem.
Shortly after my last post I decided on a clean install of 6.3 and then setup the tuners, EPG etc and install no extra plugins and see how I went on.
Funnily enough the following day WOS replied and told me to do the same thing.
It's now the 24th and behaving so there was obviously something in my Backup file that was buggering things up.
Thanks
ANOTHER UPDATE and I'm at my wits end.
On Sunday Jan 29 I did another virgin install of 6.3.
I didn't use a backup file but programmed the tuners, downloaded the channels and used EPG Importer for the EPG, I also disabled the EPG so that it didn't download every day.
No plugins were installed and I didn't connect it to my NAS so it was a totally new imaged box just for Freesat.
It behaved on Sunday through to Thursday where I downloaded the EPG for a week and programmed it every day for a week since we were going to Lanzarote and got back this evening.
It recorded the 4 programmes on Thursday evening (Feb 2nd) and then it crashed so we've come home to only last Thursdays recordings.
I've attached 2 Logs but surprisingly I expected to see one for the day it went wrong on Feb 3rd!!
The only thing I can see now is it is a hardware problem but I am going to try a rival image.
I also need to explain that from the day I bought my VU+ Uno4K SE that bi-weekly (sometimes weekly) I was getting the 'Green Screen Of Death' so we put up with just resetting the box. Last November it then went into Green Screen of Death and the HD going missing and my problems seem to have got worse.

So regardless of you being away this crash has been running periodically. Have spoken to the guy who wrote the package and he will put in code to trap and prevent this (hopefully) …. But means you will have to wait for him to update and then flash again to get the update

On Sunday Feb 29 I did a brand new install, absolutely nothing added extra.
It behaved for four days so on Thursday morning Feb 2nd I did an EPG download and then disabled it.
The wife programmed it for a week and when I got back yesterday it had only downloaded Thursday evenings programmes and then froze.
The PC was also off so there wasn't a connection to OpenWebIf.

Strange because EPG Import was disabled, the Open ATV EPG (!) was also disabled (there are two different EPGs on OpenVix) and my PC was turned off at the wall.
I put OpenPLI on this morning with a very basic setup so going to see how that goes.
I'm even thinking of buying the Gigablue equivalent because this has got to be sorted before Virgin gets taken out.
This is my 3rd VU+ box in over 10 years and the first two were faultless, I've also sent at least 12 people to WOS for VU+ boxes and set them up and as far as I know they are still going strong.
