There is another variable to consider: cold start vs warm start.  If it 
doesn't know the time or doesn't have a recent copy of the satellite orbit 
info, it has to search a lot harder to get locked up.

When you get a chance, disconnect it for an hour and try again.  I'm assuming 
it has a battery backup so it can keep track of time.  Or watch the number of 
satellites it can see and compare that with other receivers in a similar 
location.
