This just happened, first time, after a month of usage.

No - the movie is not paused - it is active.

 

It did not happen yesterday nor any other day.

We didn't install any updates unless it did so of its own accord. The only update occurred when it was first installed.

 

Once it started, after about 30 minutes of viewing, it kept happening about every three to four minutes.

Are you running the latest firmware?

Try resetting to factory defaults via the internal menu.

We've done a Reset.

Thank you.

 

Not a desired solution; for now, we've shut off the screensaver to watch movies/TV program.
