Check all of your cables and connectors, splitters etc. In your mobo
move you almost certainly moved some of these, and any time you do so it
can lead to problems, especially if the connectors are not properly
crimped etc. Make sure all connectors are tight.

Take the very same cable that is feeding your 250 and connect it to the
RF input of a TV set directly, you may not be the only one who was
working on something over the mobo changeout period - Your cable company
might have been busy as well.

Make sure you are using the correct frequency table.
