So, I to suffered from the black screen of nothing. and i messed with it all day off and on. none of the posted solutions worked at the time.
What did end up working was changing lines on the receiver. The downstairs receiver(h20's) both got the message. the upstairs HR20 did not. it was the longest cable run as well.
So i changed lines on the reciever while tuned to 498. then i simply flipped down and back up to 498 and viola. i had a welcome screen! on my hr20. Now i can sleep peacefully knowing that nothing on my end will cause me to be left out when those channels start showing up in the morning hours of Tuesday/Wednesday!
