David, when you ran the windows signal monitor - did it claim QAM64 or

All the digital signals are 256 QAM.

Just checked the source. It's 40dB for QAM256, but 30dB for ATSC and
QAM64. Are we sure he's doing QAM256 and not QAM64?

My card is showing the same SNR values as before.

Steven,
One thing that is interesting is that he is getting BER/UNC errors
even on ATSC, when he has a 30.2 dB signal. While I agree that the
cable company could be sending a weak signal, 30 dB should be plenty
for ATSC.
Also, it's possible that the playback application/codec in question

If using an amp, be sure you pick one with appropriate gain and noise
figure. Overdriving the mxl5005s with too much

When you tune using azap, and you can see UNC and BER values, what is the SNR
value and does it move over the course of 30 seconds?
