Back in Mythtv-0.22, I did have the HVR-950Q working reasonably
well for a spell, with both the analog and digital sides defined.
But eventually something changed somewhere (either in mythtv,
or during in a kernel driver), and it's never been the same since.

The digital side all by itself has always been stellar, though,
and that little USB stick has always given the best ATSC reception
at this location.  The PCTV-800i card appears to be at least equally good.

The HDHomeRun units, both the original, and then later revision,
are easily the worst at this location for ATSC OTA.
They don't even "see" channels that the xc5000 chip brings in reliably.
I haven't tried an HDHR3.

Cheers
