That's what I'm afraid of... I wonder if the HDHR is more sensitive to 
multipath.  I have 2 highly directional antennas set at 90 degrees to 
each other.  That means that one should get strong signal on that 
channel and the other should get a weak signal or none at all.

Instead, I get 96% and 93%.

Channel 17: no problem.

selene:/usr/src/hdhomerun# hdhomerun_config 1016467C set /tuner0/channel 
8vsb:17
selene:/usr/src/hdhomerun# hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/status
ch=8vsb:17 lock=8vsb ss=54 snq=35 seq=0 bps=19395584 pps=0

Channel 39: problem.

selene:/usr/src/hdhomerun# hdhomerun_config 1016467C set /tuner0/channel 
8vsb:29
selene:/usr/src/hdhomerun# hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/status
ch=8vsb:29 lock=8vsb ss=93 snq=66 seq=100 bps=0 pps=0
