Tuner/MD 108 Question

I have just received a new MD 108 - although the Signal strength (indoor, attic-mounted Fanfare antenna)on strong stations is 96 (out of a 100), the blue stereo light doesnt go on and I receive all the stations in mono with rare minutes when it will come on. Is this a defective unit or is there insufficient stereo separation in my receiving area, despite the high signal strenth?
If anybody can answer that before I can reach Magnum Dynalab, that would be great!! I really dont want to pack that huge box and ship it to Canada! Otherwise I have to get the antenna up on the roof.

I called them - the MD 108 is on its way back to them. Probably a defective capacitor. The service guy said only the second time he's seen this. They're sending me a new one. Is the S2 roof top made by Magnum?
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for all your responses. I'm sure I will end up with a roof-top Yagi. MD delivered a new 108 today and picked up the defective one, 1 week after calling them - the new one works fine!
Not bad service............
