HUNT indicates a poor signal on the cable. Hopefully the technician that was there yesterday is able to help you.

Not weird at all.

That implies that there is a problem "outside" of your home -- maybe the coaxial cable connecting from the box on the nearest telephone-pole to the Shaw "demarcation" box on the outside of your home. A technician can unlock and open that "demarc" box, and test the signal-strength coming into that box.

Hi George, have you been able to get the HUNT display problem fixed?  I've been "battling" it for a couple years trying everything suggested with no luck.

Wow -- you are persistent. Please contact Shaw (online-chat or telephone) and get them to trouble-shoot:

• their failing wires on the telephone-pole outside of your home,
• their failing coaxial-cable between the telephone-pole and their "demarcation box" on the outside of your home,
• bad coaxial "splitter" inside that box,
• bad coaxial cables inside your walls,
• bad coaxial splitter between your TV terminal and the wall-port,
• bad TV terminal (Motorola? Pace? Gateway? BlueCurve?)

Shaw should be able to remotely logon to your TV terminal, to show "signal strength" and other values.

I have been seeing this "Hunt" displayed on my Motorola DCX3400 PVR while recording.

I am going to guess this is a hard drive issue?

@Burned The Hunt error code is a signal issue, does it go away on its own?

[Burned]

It comes and it goes. 

[Burned]

Hmmm, now its saying it constantly. Even when on standby

[Burned]

Switched the splitter out and went directly to the wall with a different cable and it went away. Going to test another splitter and cable another day.

Different splitter and coax cable fixed it.
