Edit: Meant to post this here but this is a similar issue?

I've also switched from a Topfield 5800 to 2000T and see the same thing.
We install a high gain antennae when Rowridge was 'only' transmitting 20kW, which gave the Topfield pretty much full signal even on the 64QAM channels. At digital switchover Rowridge bumped up to 200kW. Topfield very happy. But our newly acquired Humax is only giving partial signal levels. We're quite close to Rowridge with a high gain antennae - it would be hard to have higher signal strength without an amp.
Just the conditions likely to swamp the tuner front end - see post above
