I've an InfiniTV4 user and about to ditch it because my signal strength is good for my TivoHD but not good enough for the InifniTV to keep a lock. Is the HD Home Run as picky as InifniTV4?

The HDHomerun Prime is a much better tuner in all categories than the infiniTV (with the exception of having less tuners).

For example, faster channel change times (1-2 sec), less heat, no crashing, less sensitivity to signal strength, no faulty nvram which prevents you from updating the firmware.

Always worth checking the run from cable demarcation around your home to see if it's being caused by something you can fix.

To add: terminate unused sockets or if possible disconnect them from the run.
