I'm not sure.  The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps the 
higher bit rate of the 'trick play' streams (because, in such 
streams, each frame is an I-frame) is overwhelming your set-top box 
or (less likely) your network.

Assuming that you have sufficient network bandwidth (e.g., you're not 
going through a 10 Mbps Ethernet switch), then the only thing I can 
suggest is seeing if there is some way to increase your STB's input 
buffering.  (Not being an expert on Amino STBs, however, I'm not sure 
how/if you can do this.)
