<br>I installed the Windows stuff and I can pick up some channels. ie there are some times when the quality goes green and it gets the station name and all the sub channels. But when I try to launch VLC, it doesn't work. I get some kind of UDP error. I think the Insignia seems to be a lot more tolerant of a low signal. On the signal quality OSD on the Insignia it often falls below the halfway mark, but I am still able to watch TV without any glitching. The HD Homerun seems to be expecting a much stronger signal. <br>
<br>Now, the antenna is not in the EXACT same place. So, today, when I get home, I will put the antenna in the exact same place and see if that improves anything for the HD Homerun. If that doesn't work, I'll pick up an amp'd antenna to see if that does any good. <br clear="all">

<br>Do you have the latest HDHR firmware? Check on that, I found that the updates made a big difference with my setup. A couple of them improved the symbol quality significantly. <br><br>If you're getting a UDP error, you might have some networking problems to work out as well. However, the low signal quality leads me to think you need to get the antenna situation figured out first. If you keep having problems, post on the silicondust forums. The designer of the HDHR does support over there and can help you figure out if it's a hardware problem. <br>
