Channel not available?

[hurnik]

The past 2 weeks I've gotten random 'channel not available' (only on the HD SDV channels mind you).

The one day I know it was a system wide problem because people at work (who live in diff. towns/cities) had the same thing with their TW cable boxes.

However, the last two times, it only seems to be "me".

The fix has been to unplug the TA USB cable to the Tivo, wait for it to figure out it's not there anymore, and then plug it back in and wait for it to find it (then it re-reads the channel map apparently).

I've even replaced the USB cable (from the stupid 3 or 4' puny one that TW gives you).

Anyone else seen this? I wonder if it's the TA or the Tivo that's causing the problem.

I'm getting Channel Not Available for all my SDV channels right now. Very annoying when there's a movie I want to watch on one of the Starz HD channels. Tried rebooting cable boxes, but it's happening to all of them. Signal levels in the box shows around -3/-6, which is normal. Annoying.

I lost the SyFy HD channel a few days ago. The SD channel was fine. I power cycled the TA and the TiVo and it came back.

I've noticed that I've had to power cycle all of my cable boxes a lot since the Navigator update. Whether they're sending a bunch of incremental fixes every night, I don't know, but it seems like almost every day I have to unplug at least one of my cable boxes because it won't tune certain channels.

I got a channel unavailable message for Weather Channel HD a couple nights ago ... and I have a TWC box (no tuning adapter).
