Premiere with increasing pixelation, cancelled recordings

We're having pixelation problems with our Tivo Premiere that have bene increasing in severity over the last couple of months. The recorded picture is unwatchable with pixelation, audio dropouts and jumping around. This Tivo is connected to Verizon Fios.



What's starting to happen now is that if the pixelation is really bad, we lose the recording completely -- gone from the Tivo, history, to do list, deleted items, everywhere. Football on Fox seems to be particularly prone to this vanishing recording problem.



I did notice today that while watching live, there didn't seem to be any pixelation. That same program when watched off the Tivo recording had heavy pixelation. So, wouldn't that suggest that the Tivo is the problem?



I'm running the Tivo Kickstart 54 hard drive test right now -- everything OK so far.



I've used various attenuators to bring the SNR to 31-34 or so. The Verizon Fios tech has been here and checked everything on Verizon's end.



What's really strange is that the bedroom Tivo HD hooked to an OTA antenna has similar problems to a lesser degree. Verizon definitely isn't the culprit there, as that TV doesn't have cable hooked up.
