All fixed now. First time I got to the posting where I wasn't on a smartphone. Apologies for the delay.

Great to here that someone else has the same product with experience!

I only have the single 3-way splitter and all outputs are connected, so no need for termination right now. No other splitters in the chain at all. The Dish DVR was connected before I purchased my HDHomeRun. Now that I have the HDHomeRun, it's just the two single tuner cards and the HDHomeRun. The newer HDHomerun (HDHR3) has a single coax input with 2 tuners. Not sure if that means there's an internal splitter or something of the like. I actually bought another HDHomerun, and haven't decided if I'll swap the 3-way splitter for a 4-way one, but I figure I can tackle that after I get my antenna situation figured out. =)
Apologies if I didn't describe my setup well in the listing above.

That makes sense. I was assuming that Symbol quality might be an average of the past N frames or something, and a solid 99% symbol quality should resuly in a stable picture. I think your interpretation makes a lot more sense and would be representative of my situation.
I guess the signal quality I'm getting is a lot worse than I thought on 1 or 2 stations at a time.
[QUOTE=GroundUrMast;14138]A Winegard HD7694P will have far more gain and directivity (multipath rejection ability) than any indoor antenna. The output of that antenna at your location would have no trouble driving a passive 8-way splitter.
If you choose to use an indoor antenna, you'll want to find a location and aim alignment that produces the highest stable signal quality indications.

I forgot to mention that I've checked for this and all of my network checks out. No measurable packet loss, or periods of interrupted connectivity. At this point I'm prety sure it's just reception.
