Random/often searching for HD signal?

[mdh333]

I have the HR20-700.

Since the new channels have rolled out, I often see searching for signal when tuning to an HD channel. OK, I guess I should define often as maybe 10% of the time. Sometimes, I can then just click up/down and it works fine. Sometimes (probably for a good hour of ESPNHD last night) it doesn't make any difference.

I figured that this was just DTV working out the bugs...but when looking today, doesn't seem like other people are really seeing this. Is it just me?

Weather is no factor, at times when this is happening on one HD channel, the others are fine. Seems totally random.

Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes/workarounds?

Are you B Band Converters connected to both inputs? Do you have a multiswitch
installed? Is this on one receiver or all receivers? Basically we need more info.

B-Band converters are connected (hmm, last night while the issue was going on there was somthing recording on the other tuner - however, I was able to watch NFLHD, even though I couldn't watch ESPNHD) Guess I could make sure they're tight and such, but the problem is very intermitten - and I never do anything to fix it.

The other receiver I have is the HR10-250, and it doesn't happen on that one.

I did try both 206 ESPN, and 73 ESPN last night....neither one worked - though, I'm not sure if 73 ESPN on the HR20-700 is really the MPEG2 version.

I do have a multi-switch....not sure the version anymore, it's a few years old (and under the house. It is powered)
