Here's something I've been dealing with for a few months, and am wondering if 
anybody else has had the same problem or a solution...

Every few days my signal quality deteriorates, it's hard to describe, but 
basically I get symptoms of poor cable signal to one or both of my PVR250 
cards.

I can immediately clean up the signal by simply disconnecting and reconnecting 
the coaxial cable from the affected tuner(s). I've tested and replaced cables 
and connectors multiple times, and have determined that this reliably fixes 
the problem, although temporarily. Sometimes it stays good for a week or two, 
and sometimes only a few days. I have 4 devices fed by my cable, all from the 
same distribution amp, only the 2 PVR250 boxes are affected. Perhaps I have a 
grounding problem or something else odd?

Anybody have ideas for the cause or a permanent fix?
