I haven't seen effects that have made a huge difference on my signals.. 2%-3%. I guess placement is probably most critical thing, regardless of the tuner card... Mine is on the back of a home, about 35feet off the ground.. no metal near it at all, and it's a 15-20 mileshot to the tower.. LOS. My lowest signal is 88% or so, and most are94-98% with the HD-3000's..Key thing.. LOS.. I can't see any of the towers in the horizon and I have 2 uhf yagis on my roof stacked.. They are 1000 ft sticks but due to the terrain hereI am screwed.. Where abouts are you at in the country?
Taylor's environment sounds very similar to mine. 30 miles or so outside Seattle, no LOS, weaving through lots of trees and past a big hill. Definitely interested to see how the new Air2PC fares against my HD2000 (not to mention how it does w/my cable, which the prior Air2PC did NOT like).
SLC Utah, the towers are on the western mountains and I'm up on theeastern mountains. The valley is below, and could give a fair bit of MPhitting whatever is down there though too... I did angle my antenna about 5 degrees north, because I did see a more jumpy signal directly at the towers.. I run through 350' of cat 6 and 2 1-4 splitters, use a $20 small yaggi from radio shack and no amplifier..
I should buy you a drink or something. I'll be in SLC for about two weeks, starting June 27th...
