Bad News: My Myth setup is kind of in the wrong part of the

that picks up all stations.

I would really love a live-feedback app that would read the
signal strength from my pcHDTV and/or Hauppague 2250 digital
tuner cards. Select a station, position the antenna, see the
signal strength.

Does anyone know of such a utility? A graph would be ideal,
but a numeric read-out would be fine.

ALT-F7 is in the key bindings table for SIGNALMON and it used to
bring up an OSD with a signal strength meter when used during
live TV. I used it years ago, and I just tried it now but it
doesn't seem to do anything anymore. I tried it with the
pcHD3000 and the HDHR. I can't recall if these were the tuner
cards I had when it did work.

Does this still work for anyone else out there?

Yes, the MythTV signal monitor should work. Have you tried other
themes? Perhaps yours has a broken OSD?
<br>
<br>
And you can get around the "MythTV setup is ... in the wrong part
of the house" problem with a couple of cell phones and a
friend/kid/SO/... (The modern-day walkie talkie.)

The signal monitor does not work for me. I have tried different
themes, retro-wide, bluetube, mythbuntu, and blue abstract. the
signal osd does not come up and the live TV keeps playing. As I
recall the video used to pause while the signal osd was being
displayed.<br>
<br>
I tried binding SIGNALMON to a different key sequence with no luck.
I'm using the current Mythbuntu with 0.27 fixes.<br>
<br>
So I was wondering if anyone else could verify that this actually
works on their current system. What theme are you using with it?
ALT-F7 should bring up a live signal quality monitor during live tv.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
