Pressing the "C" key displays which tuner is currently being used in
live tv (if you've named your tuners in the backend setup) and the
pcHDTV HD-3000 is selected but there is no signal monitor action when
hitting Alt-F7. Not sure why, but...
I've discovered that all my digital TVs have realtime signal meters
buried somewhere in their menus, so they can be used for antenna
orientation if necessary. Even the US Gov subsidized DTV converter
boxes have nice signal meters included.
By the way, you may get better results by temporarily removing any
antenna line amplifiers when orienting an antenna via signal strength
meters.
