Thank you for these suggestions. I checked both ends of the Coax with a magnifying lens and it looks clean. The foil shielding and shield wires are not touching the center wire.
Some more tests I've run:
1. I connected an Amplified Rabbit Ear Antenna to the coax at my Comcast Cable service entry (which adds a F-to-F connector and about 20' more of cable) and I get excellent reception. (ultimately the 70' cable will be connected at this service entry for a total of 90' of coax to the TV)
2. I connected the HD7000R directly to the TV right in my Living Room through a 5' Coax Cable and confirmed that it works well without the 70' cable (ie: indoors) although it seems to be quite directional; I have to turn it about 10 degrees to get one group of stations or another.
Since the HD7000R works when connected directly to the TV through a 5' cable, do you think that it's correct to assume that the matching transformer is okay ...or is the quality on these matching transformers typically so variable that it's better to get another one just to be sure?
