Last night the HTPC came out of sleep to record a show off of WUSA, and quickly went back to sleep. I checked, and no longer had any signal on WUSA, but oddly did have signal on WDCW. It was cold and mostly cloudless last night when this occurred. Looks like signals which come in strong don't always come in. Don't know if this make a difference or not when evaluating the two preamps, the 7778 vs the 7777. I also already see a conflict for my single tuner so I'll likely add a silicon dust dual tuner device to the mix soon, which will mean a 3 way splitter. This has me thinking the 7777 is the way to go to give me the head room for splitting, provided it doesn't overdrive the current tuner before the other tuners are added.
