It's a shame that you have to use an RCA DTA880 to tell you what the TV should tell you. I like the Diagnostics Screen on my Sony TVs that gives me signal strength, SNR and uncorrected errors.

I'm surprised that you can use a 7777 & a 3410 without tuner overload. I would have thought you would need a single channel bandstop filter to attenuate KVCR.
NBC and CBS come in very strong. 60~70%

KVCR is in the other direction, so the signal it very well even though I'm pointed away from it...

The RCA box is pretty good for $40, and I've tested the HD recording with old SATA hard drives and it's crystal clear. I just don't like leaving the power plugged into the HD 24/7. The box even has a program guide! Something my Vizio LED, Panasonic plasma, and Sceptre 4K TVs do not.

Well, I supposed I can climb in the attic and remove the 3410 again to test...
