I have a solution for Slingcatcher Freezing! I had this slingcatcher freezing problem every 2-3 minutes, using the Slingcatcher in L.A with the Slingbox in the UK. This made it completely unwatchable. Although using the PC Slingplayer it worked fine.

Heres how:-

I bought a Strong VPN connection to the UK from http://www.strongvpn.com ($55 per year on special) and I bought a fast Strong VPN router from http://sabaitechnology.com/StrongVPN-Client-Router-N-P841634.aspx (you can buy this router, and update to the dd-wrt firmware yourself for less money, but for $140 you get support from Sabai and less messing about, so it probably isn't worth it)

Put in the VPN details and connected the two slingcatchers I have to he ports of this router. And then connected the WAN of this router to a lan port on my current Internet router (Draytek 2820n) to get a WAN DHCP address. (The setup took less than 5 minutes)

It is faultless, I can watch my UK TV using my Slingcatchers.

Apparently the reason for this is either latency issues from Time Warner Cable in Los Angeles or something to do with how Time Warner routes intrnet traffic across the atlantic. I really don't care, just pleased it works for a one off cost of $140 and $55 per year.

I hope this helps others as it has been annoying me for 3 months now :)
