All you have to do is select the proceeding, 97-80 and then enter your comments. The more people that comment on the failure of the current tuning adapters, the more likely we'll get a quick fix.
@johnw248 I didn't know people were having significant problems with the tuning adapters for SDV. What problems are people having? What's the quick fix? It doesn't seem like AllVid has much potential to be a quick fix.
@reggie14 As Ben said there are lock-ups making them miss recordings. It seems to be related to the unit downloading the virtual channel table, but since it's a "secret cablelabs" device, we can only guess. The way the unit works, it replaced the VCT that the cableCARD has, so when it locks up all channels stop working.
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

@reggie14
The TAs lock up and become unresponsive which makes you miss recordings on channels and in some cases locks up the entire DVR.
The AllVid isn't a quick fix, but the FCC plans to replace TAs with an IP connection between the headend and the DVR by this Fall.
