hey guys, i have this 34xx hd dvr and i am not getting all the channels, when i go to certain premium channels, it says this channel will be available shortly, other premiums work with heave audio and video glitching and some premiums work with minor glitching only on video. Will the motorola signal booster help me with this issue? anybody else have any suggestions. Oh i have to say that i just signed up for cable and it was installed last friday, i am assuming there are giving me some kind of special or promotion for the premiums. thanks guys

These boxes require a good signal. It should be as "close to the pole" as possible meaning few or no splitters from the wall to the box. If this is already for true for your setup, contact the cableco to make certain you are getting the full signal strength the box prefers. When my cable runs were too long (like to a bedroom) or when I had rg59 vs. rg6 (iirc), I had similar issues. After my DVR was "happy", I installed a high bandwidth splitter rated at 5-2000MHz and added a signal booster for the long run to the bedroom for the 2nd. box. HTH
YMMV
