Guided setup and OTA

It's been a while, but we're still here with our old S3.

So a piece of advice to begin with. Never, never, ever run guided setup unless you really, really have to. It's advice that I wish I had heeded...

I was mucking around with my HT and I decided to change out the ariel, in readiness of the Atmos speakers etc. And because of that I decided to rerun GS.

Bad, big bad on my part. It never finished. And once you've started it, you can never return...

So, running an antenna version only, it would successfully do the first call home, load all that and then sit on the Please Wait screen. Pretty much forever it would seem.

I have wiped out the thumbs and program stuff. I haven't deleted everything and started again. I'd like to avoid that if I may.

The unit restarts successfully every time, I don't see any errors and programs are recorded and played back without any issue.

My question is, why would it load data from TiVo/home and then fail to scan the OTA channels? If I run GS as a cable/OTA mix (the 2nd option) it all goes to completion. But I get cbl channels and duplicated OTA entries (17-1 twice).

Any one got any thoughts or suggestions on this?

PS, our HDMI board went out so we're on component connections and I tried with the original ariel. No luck, same issue.
