correct about the BBCs and RG6. doesnt matter where connected, as long as its a satellite in.
when you get the recorder detected 3... message, just hit Continue, Fix Later. it should redownload the guide.
EDIT: as a last ditch effort, if that does not work, reset it, using either the menu, or the red button. if still no-go, call and have authorizations resent.
if you have to call for more authorizations, you will know they came down because the picture pixelates for just half a second, and then goes back to normal..
super high tech stuff if you ask me.
