Having different problems with BOTH cablecards...

[mrdazzo7]

Hi, hopefully someone can help me out...my S3 worked perfectly for about a month, but now I'm having problems with the cable card... Card#2 occasionally only gives me a "grey screen" on all channels above 21 or 22, while Card#1 CONSTANTLY gives me the "To View Copy Protected Material..." screen (every single time I tune to any non-broadcast channel), where all you have to do is hit "clear" and it goes away. It's extremely annoying...

Reboot seems to fix both problems but only temporarily. I don't understand how upon reboot everything works fine, then both problems come back later. These problems are starting to drive me a little crazy... Any ideas?

Sounds like the cards lost their pairing. It's most likely the cableco. You could ask them to re-initialize your cards.
