I need to use a tuning adapter to to receive the premium channels from Spectrum. I'm getting pixelation and screen tearing but only for the channels that require the tuning adapters (HBO, SHOWTIME, NBA ETC) The standard channels give me no issues (CNN, FOX, ESPN).

I'm currently using a BOLT and the Motorola tuning adapter from Spectrum.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?

First suggestion is to use a splitter to connect your Tivo and your TA to the coax cable separately.

Do not Daisy chain the cable connection through the TA to your Tivo, this will reduce signal strength to the Tivo.

I'll try that when i get home. Do you recommend changing all the splitters too?

Check the Diagnostics for Signal Strength. That's free. Cable Bolt is happy at 90.

I would eliminate any unneeded splitters. Unless others are faulty for some reason there should be no reason to change them.

I ran a coax directly from the splitter to the tivo and another one from the splitter to the tuner. That was still giving me interference so I changed the USB input from the tuner to the bolt from the top port to the bottom one. So far I haven't seen any issues. I hope this clears it for good. Signal strength is at 90.

REboot the tuning adapter by disconnecting the power source.
Wait 30 seconds to a minute, then reconnect the power source.

I have the tuning adapter connected to a lamp timer set to power off/on once a week for a few minutes.

I'm so happy I no longer need a TA for my Roamio... Moved to Lubbock Texas and Suddenlink, I do not miss Spectrum...
