At this point, I believe I was able to confuse the tuner, trying to tune my NBC station. I believe the tuner was in a bad state when it tried to record the program off of FOX. As long as I don't try to record anything off of NBC on my HD-3000, then all the other stations seem to work fine. I would have given up on trying to record off of NBC, but my TV's HD tuner is able to show that station without any glitches. Finally, out of desperation, I put my old HD-2000 back in the system and tried it. Voila! My HD-2000 has no problem with NBC. It immediately gets a solid lock, and never looses it. Tried all three of my HD-3000 cards again, but none of them will lock onto that station. For now, I have created a new lineup on zap2it just for my HD-2000 card, and made my NBC station "invisible" to my HD-3000 cards. Myth is working fine for me now. Daniel, sorry to waste your time on this. This problem really had nothing to do with Myth. Kenneth was right.
