Anyone had experience or ever owned both tuners? I have the FusionHDTV5
(Gold PCI retail version) right now. My Panasonic plasma will pull in
all the big networks OTA at 70-90% signal. If I disconnect the antenna
from the plasma and connect to the Fusion (same wire, same plug, no
splitters, no trickery) it only yields 30-40% signal (unwatchable) in
Myth.
Is the signal actually unwatchable? For me (DVB-T instead of ATSC) the signal strength NUMBERS on cards in linux is always low, and sometimes a bit random, even when I get perfect picture.

Yes. It ranges from no picture at all to barely watchable. Sometimes Myth throws an error about "Should've had a lock by now" and sometimes the frontend just locks up.

I have a Fusion HDTV Lite card, an HDHomeRun and a Hauppauge HD-PVR in
my setup. The Fusion card pulls in the signals just as well as the
HDHomeRun, so I don't know if you've got a defect or what. I did lower
the threshold for digital signals in MythTV to 40% and everything still
comes in crystal clear. I live in a hilly area about 35 miles away
from the antenna sources and am using a Winegard SS with amplifier,
then multiple splitters to deliver signal all over my house.<br>
