So I recently decided to go all-out on my RCN account and add a TiVo box along with a cable package (I've always had OTA TV my entire life).
The TiVo Roamio I own and it is giving me an Error V52 message on several channels. Most of the channels are SD channels, but the one channel I really care about (Ch 1313, History HD) pops up with the error several times a day. Rebooting the device seems to fix the issue, but it only takes another 2-3 hours before the error pops back up... which obviously ruins any DVR recordings I had setup. One thing I have noticed is that when the channel does work (immediately after a restart), it only works on on a 2 or 3 out of the 4 total tuners within the TiVo.
Initially I assumed it was a CableCARD issue, but the fact that it works on some (but not all) of the tuners at any given time makes me think it is a issue with the TiVo itself. Then again... if the CableCARD is an MCard, maybe that means there are multiple decryption circuits at work within the CableCARD.
Either way, I don't know enough about it to tell either way. Anyway I can pinpoint the issue further?

ps. I'm not sure if the folks that run RCN's Twitter support feed are on this forum as well. But if they are you guys rock. You guys are much easier to work with than your colleges on the phone lines.
