Stronger, but not necessarily better. The signal level can be too high. You need to be on the correct tap for your cable length.
You need the same signal no matter what you are watching/recording. TiVo records on all tuners all the time anyway (except in power-saving mode) - it just goes into the live TV buffers if you aren't making permanent recordings.

Thanks for the explanation - sounds like it's all down to the number of boxes (any type) and the distance from the street box - so absolutely no reason I wasn't on the "correct tap" from day 1
