Yes. The log is at

I don't see any significant difference between the two logs, but I don't

Yes, sd-cable is the listing for the analog cable, and it is a mystery
to me why it looks like it is working.

You are correct. I would like to cut the cable cord, but haven't had
time to set up the antenna correctly, so there are no tuners using that
source. Sigh. Anyhow, that wasn't causing any problems with the original
sd data and I doubt it is here, either.

Robert, Bill, thanks for looking into this.
