The NIT table is carried on all transport streams, not just one.
When the box boots up it does a check on the home transport stream before then continuing onto the last frequency it was locked to. By pressing the down arrow on boot up you simply bypass the check of the home transport stream.
If the STB fails to find a NIT then it completely fails to boot. The STB does not store the NIT when it is rebooted. If the box is booting then it is finding the NIT on whatever stream it is locking to.

The Home Transport stream level needs checking and adjusting.
The default frequency carries the Home transport STREAM,this can be any transport stream(broadcast multiplex) all the download info for the STB to do an over the air code download, so i'm hardly incorrect. Everything i said was correct. If you want a game of i know more than you,then carry on, i'm sure i could get the manuals on the STB and how it works like any other person can. You've repeated what i said. Apart from saying that all the Transport streams carry the NIT as you say,(don't think this is the case myself i think it is carried on a couple of streams, but might be wrong)i'm not totally incorrect as You say.

If you look on the engineering screens, on page 5 it will show the frequency the STB was last tuned to, if the AGC is higher than 70% or the SNR is lower than 29% the problem could be low input levels, this could be why it is stuck on tune.

If stuck on NIT it could indicate corrupted data, again on page 5 if the PRE and POST errors are incorrect either the data is corrupted by the network being at fault or more likely the STB is faulty.
