Ok, this one might sound a little odd...Many Rochester DTV customers are aware of a problem with channels 13.1 and 13.2 locally (local ABC station). Apparently it has to do with how close the frequency is to another OTA station. On newer DTV boxes, the signal breaks up every 30 sec. or so. Very annoying, especially since Lost started. Happens on my roomates HR20-100 that I have so much fun with CE's on :) As an experiment today we hooked up his old HR10-250 HD Tivo, and its perfect on there. Also was perfect after a software update months back on my 622. Here is the question...Anyone know if its possible to replace the OTA tuner in the HR20 with the one thats in the HR10-250? This is an owned receiver, we already verified that a while back, I just don't want anything to start smoking! I haven't cracked open the 20 but on the 10 it seems like the tuner would come out fairly easily. Anyway, thanks for any input!!

Or even better, Directv, add Rochester HD locals!!!!
