At this point, I'm not sure if I'll return the ANT751, the Tivo, or both. I was hoping this was going to be a relatively painless transition, but I've been very disappointed with the Tivo's OTA performance.
My advice to you is to ditch the TiVo. The ChannelMaster TV CM 7400 HD DVR is now available for sale. It has some advantages and disadvantages compared to the ChannelMaster CM-7000PAL Antenna Compatible DVR that it replaces. Take a look at both devices and buy the one that better fits your needs. I don't believe that you will miss the TiVo.

P.S. Although the older device is out of production, it is still in stock at a diminishing number of outlets.
