How about at least volume normalization between tuners? My HD-PVR is a lot
louder than my HDHR. On my TV (volume levels from 0-60) the HD-PVR
recordings I can hear just fine around 10-20 volume but the HDHR I have to
turn up to 40-50 just to make out what people are saying.
It gets really annoying when watching TV and I switch channels between
something on the HDHR and then something on the HD-PVR.
I know some tuners in the backend setup have a volume adjustment setting but
I don't think either of these tuners have that option.
