When I get signal quality issues, it's usually during bad weather and manifests itself as partial recordings, not zero length.
I have gotten zero length on, for instance, 3 or 4 consecutive days' worth of Simpsons recordings (all HD OTA on the same channel) and then a problem recording Family Guy (same channel). It just doesn't feel like signal strength to me.
