I think TiVo is winding down the hardware part of the business.

That's what I was hoping for myself ...
As I have a peculiar multipath interference problem here that for some reason gives my two older Roamios and a Bolt fits receiving some channels.
(Constant picture breakup and pixelization as the diagnostics show the "RS Uncorrected" error numbers go through the roof on those channels).
Only the tuners in the Edge OTA are unaffected by it. But due to my pandemic strapped finances right now I can't afford to upgrade the three older boxes to Edges right now. ...

Maybe you need an LTE filer? TV Antenna LTE Filter | Channel MasterThat's what I was hoping for myself ...

I could accept this as a possibility if the channels most affected by this interference were at the upper part of the TV UHF band near the 600 and 700 MHz cellular bands.
But the most severely affected channels experiencing this problem right now on the Roamios and Bolt broadcast on TV RF channels 9, 12, and 13 in the VHF-hi band between 186-216 MHz. Well away from any cellular band.
And what's especially frustrating is that no other ASTC tuner on equipment in the house including the one TiVo Edge has any problems receiving all the broadcast signals coming from nearby Mt. Wilson/Mt. Harvard about 20 mi. to the NE of me here in the LA market.
Only the Roamios and Bolt are having the issue ...
Go figure ....

Ok, so IF this problem is mostly in the VHF band, you likely have a switching power supply (laptop brick) or LED lights, or a battery tender out in the garage causing the problem?I could accept this as a possibility if the channels most affected by this interference were at the upper part of the TV UHF band near the 600 and 700 MHz cellular bands.

I had the same thing a few years back, and it turned out to be two things: 1: a Dell laptop power brick, 2: A Harbor Freight battery tender in my garage, for maintenance charging a battery.
I tracked them down by using and old-school analog AM radio. Put it down around 600 where there's no station. Listen for loud static, walk around anything you suspect to see if it gets WORSE when you get closer.
My battery tender could be picked up 300 FEET away from my garage when it turned on it was putting out such high power RF!. I unplugged that, and replaced the Dell power brick, and never had another issue. Some LED lightbulbs can cause the same issue. Perhaps whatever is doing it, is plugged into the same circuit your Tivos are plugged into, and radiating through the outlet.
