Is anyone else having issues with there cable TV or Road runner signal this afternoon?  Road runner is working fine.  At first when I turned my TV on all I got was a black screen with nothing no matter what Channel.  I restarted my Tivo, now I get most channels, except for what I believe are SDV channels.  the OTA channels work, ESPN works, but no other channels.  The tuning adaptor appears to be working fine with a solid green light.

And I forgot the message on the SDV channels are "Channel not available"  Any input, .....Loadstar?  You always know how to fix Tivo

Ok turns out it was the tuning adaptor.  At first I tried unplugging the USB cable from the back of the TA, that did nothing.  Then I unplugged the electricity of the TA, left it for about 1 minute, then plugged it back in,  at first it did a constant blink and I was ready to call Tier 3, but then all of a sudden it stopped and the message "A tuning Adapter has been detected" popped up, then it went through the acquiring channel message, and now appears to be working fine.  

As for my young marriage of a few weeks, I was threatened for interupting the recording of A Carol Christmas on ABC Fam, lol.   But as an FYI, even if the light is solid, don't let that fool you, it still could be the TA.
