ESPN only not working properly (not from "blackout" issue).

Both of my ESPN channels become fuzzy or just go to unavailable entirely.  It's not a "blackout" issue.  For example I am watching sportscenter right now and the channel goes in and out, freezes up, etc.  ESPN works fine on my bedroom tv.  I have also received a new box to switch out to see if it was a box problem, but the other box does the exact same thing. 

Again, it's only the one channel.  Any ideas?

Retighten all coax connectors to the STB, including any splitters in the signal path.  What you describe appears to be a frequency-related problem (I think the two ESPN channels are on the same QAM channel) that loose coax connectors can cause.  It's a physics thing  that can effect only certain frequencies.  This is a solution other have been successfully used to fix problems were only a few channels break up or go away.
