Or in my case it doesn't due to insufficient signal.

It is due to poor reception in my area pre-switchover. Ok, it's not exactly the same analogy but if a Freeview box doesn't receive enough signal it doesn't work. If you try to get a satellite dish to get a signal through trees or the dish is misaligned it doesn't work.

Royaltiger was implying that the Tivo box was different for requiring the correct power levels in order to function properly.
