I recently got an HDHomeRun Prime (which is a great device btw.) and connected a FIOS Cable Card. Everything is dandy except 4 channels.
554 Spike HD
690 Comedy Central HD
717 VH1 HD
752 Nick HD
Basically the video is distorted and the sound is garbled. It's almost like someone scratched the disc really bad and played that. The same channels work fine on the HD Set Top box that I also have (which I am going to return.). I have tried reseating the card and checked all the connections to the HDHomeRun.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks.

I think that these channels are paired two each to a single QAM channel. meaning two QAM channels are likely problematic. Apparently your cable card doesn't like the signal levels of the frequencies of those two QAM. You may want to change the splitter port of the run to the cable card, re-make connectors, etc. If the problem is a too-high signal, an attenuator could help.

splitters was the problem. i re-evaluated the connections in the house and there were 3 splits between verizon box and router/tuner combo. i removed a redundant split and the problem was solved. soon i'll remove another redundant split. thanks for your help.
