The other problem stations are WDIV, WTVS, & WXYZ. Even at 72 signal I see the pixelation.
That sounds like overload from strong TV or FM signals to me. Try inserting an attenuator in the coax. A splitter can be used as an attenuator; 3.5 dB for a 2-way, 7 dB for a 4-way.

•Attenuation values 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20dB (FAM)
click on 1 dB for other values; the up and down arrows are faint

Rabbit, you mention the Antennas Direct C2V. I wonder if I would have better luck with that antenna.
Try your present antenna with attenuators and FM trap or HLSJ first, then decide.

However the TiVo does have 4 tuners so the signal must be split amongst them somehow.
It probably has an internal amp to compensate for the split.
