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.
