wow - you're way over my head! So - in plainspeak am I right - the HR20 requires a stronger OTA signal than the TV? Or is it an HR20 tuner issue?

Yes, to a marginal degree.

The HR20 wants to have a stronger signal, so it can "lock it" and have a stable feed for recording purposes.

So a "so-so" marginal signal, isn't really going to cut it for DVR purposes.

If the signal is bouncing, or is droping out... that is not good for a DVR
