I second the suggestion to check the signal strength.  I had the same
problem with TWC and a FusionHDTV5 Gold.  It seems to require more
signal than my other tuners (AirStar HD5000, Pinnacle 800i, HDHR) when
doing QAM.  Oddly, I haven't noticed signal strength issues since I
dropped cable and went OTA.  It actually has quite good OTA reception,
on par with HD5000 and the 800i, and far better than the HDHR.
