Thanks - I have never intentionally created any virtual tuners.  I've
just connected Tuners0 and 1 of the HDHomerun to the OTA channel list
from SchedulesDirect, and everything else was left to the default.  Is
there a way to just have 2 regular tuners, and delete all these
"virtual" ones?

About the reception, you are correct ... about a year ago, someone on
this list helped me figure out that Channel 9 is too strong in my
area, so I attached the rabbit ears.  There is no adjustable gain on
my Phillips indoor/outdoor antenna, alas.  It's sitting in a window.

Would love to just have Tuner0 and Tuner1 appear as such in Myth .. is
that possible?
