So I thought maybe the cable company had moved some of the channels.  I 
could lock on to some but not others.  So I rescanned and re-added the 
channels.  Now it just looks like I can not consistently lock on to one 
multiplex.  Some times it locks and some times it doesn't

The Myth OSD is showing:
Signal 99% | S/N 4.8DB | BE 56 | (La_) Partial Lock

Could someone tell me what BE and (La_) mean.

Kevin - Are you seeing something similar when you can't lock a channel?
