Thank you Steve for trying to find a common thread in all of this.

The id for this box was not included in the 6200ch program so I had to 
manually add it to get the channel changes to work.  However, the 
program runs perfectly and it able to change the channel flawlessly 100% 
of the time.

./6200ch -v -n 1 3

5 - channel changes always occur flawlessly, as far as I can tell..

Channel changing always works, but I only seem to be able to receive a 
stream from the cable box about 30% of the time.  I have yet to figure 
out what the circumstances are that yield valid captures, because 
successful recordings seem to occur at random.
