Thanks for the help, but it appears that the problem is with my connection. I gave up and tried hooking a normal TV up to the line, and I get the same output as on my PVR-250. It's the same line that my cable modem is connected to, so I would guess that Time Warner installed some kind of a filter on the line for me. Thanks Time Warner. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

That looks fine to me.

So does that mean there were no errors, or does it mean the check on the first terminal window isn't doing what you expected?
