My experience with the HDHR tuner has been that a signal quality level below 60% is likely to have enough errors to be troublesome when recording. Stable quality at 70% or higher usually translates to near perfect viewing and recording.

The signal strength indication can be helpful as you're aiming the antenna initially.


For what it's worth, the antenna has no awareness of the modulation type. There is no such thing as a 'digital' antenna. You can use a 30 year old antenna to receive the new signal format if it's still in good condition and covers the bands used by the current broadcasters. (UHF is the most common choice, but as in your case, there are plenty of DTV stations on VHF, both high band and low band.)
