I went ahead and ordered a HDHR because I wanted to have more HD capable tuners.
Should I have a reason to believe that I will have better luck with the HDHR considering
that it is outside the box and not subject to questionable power supplies and interference
from other HW?
I guess I am still not sure what the S/N ration for my signal is but as I said in my original
post, my TV gets very good signal and finds all the available channels.

The signal strength and S/N numbers are uncalibrated with the Linux
DVB drivers. As a general rule with any one card on any one
channel, a larger number is better and smaller number is worse.
The S/N is log(random num) on some cards, a linear value on others,
an uncalibrated S/N register read on other cards, another name for
signal strength on other cards, and sometimes completely made up.
The reason we report those values is for primarily of antenna
adjustment purposes.
