Interesting. Here's what's on my wish list: programming capability in the
STB to select among
multiple antennas. I have DT stations coming at me from four different
directions, only two of them
from nearly the same direction. It would be great if could assign an
antenna port to each station.

Perhaps, in an extension of the new, adaptive technology, the STB will
check multiple antennas
and settle on the best worker.

I'd feel better about this if it was anyone but Funai. Looking at their
website they have nothing about HD-STBs or even that they *ever* sold them.

No, it's probably not your fault. There aren't that many STBs that have
this setup...it's just that all the ones that have two inputs deal with
them separately, like they should.
