I've had tivo since Christmas no problems with cable box, then a few weeks ago we had to move the cable box, I had a tech issue with tivo not changing channels, in order to help us they wanted to know the cable make number, and we had to move the damn cable box up down left right turn it half way over just to find a stupid code, and now the pictures all fucked up. Some channels are extreamly scrambled, no sound little to no picture. the picture on other channels flickers, sometimes sound goes out.

Now here's where what you all think come in, My dad says it's all tivo's fault and tivo box and service has fucked up my cable, but I think it was moving the box while it was plugged in and turned on, for all the months I had tivo I had no problems untill moving the danm box around.

So what do you all think? I think it was moving the box while it was on. Can that cause the picture damage my local channils are now displaying, and the other cable picture problems?

Have you tried changing the coax cable? Make sure they are both screwed in tightly, input and output? It is also a possibility that either the input or output jacks are fucked up.

so we moved all the cables about, tried changing the one in here with the one out there, no luck it's definatly a problem with one of the cables, I think the coaxe one not sure, it's better now, it has a picture and sound now, but the funky lines keep running through it and it still glitches. I sppose I can live with it for a while, as long as it's not as bad as before.
