Shoot.  2 responses of go with HDPVR.  lol

I found an account issue when I had it looked into, but that wasn't the
problem.  Turning the box on/off works, it appears it changes the channel
without issue.  I've tuned to local broadcast stations that should be
unencrypted, no luck.  My other box records fine off of any channel though.

I'm still fighting with it.
