So I'm an idiot.
I kept poking at my replay tv trying to figure things out and I went ahead and wired it's input directly to the tv, and there's a great big message saying terminal timed out. I tried powercycling and other stuff, got nothing, after several attempts I got ahold of someone at time warner and they tried resetting it but nothing. While we were troublshooting he hasked me why I had the box in the first place.
I couldn't think of a reason, the replay tv has a tuner. We scheduled someone to come out but in the mean time I tried to remember why it was set up that way. The only thing I can think is that once upon a time we used to get PPV shows and needed a box for that, but I haven't don that in years.
So I pulled it out of the line up and kicked myself for leasing a box I didn't need for 8$/mo for something like 2 years.
Signal works great without the damn cable box, though the skipping harddisk issues are still there. I need to dig a bit more and find out if pulling the disk causes irreperable issues.
