News: Portland's TV towers are on the west slope of the West
Hills, visible from my neighborhood.<br>
<br>
Bad News: My Myth setup is kind of in the wrong part of the
house. I am having trouble pointing my indoor antenna in a way
that picks up all stations.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of such a utility? A graph would be ideal,
but a numeric read-out would be fine.<br>

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.<br>
<br>
Does this still work for anyone else out there?<br>

If using Linux, these are the (painful) steps I take<br>
<br>
1) Stop Myth Backend<br>
2) scan for channels (this is for United States): "sudo w_scan -fa
-cUS -x > channels.txt"<br>
3) To see what channels were found: "sudo cat ./channels.txt"<br>
4) Now need to create a channels.conf file for azap: "sudo scan
./channels.txt >./channels.conf"<br>
5) See what channels were found: "sudo cat ./channels.conf" and take
note of channel name.<br>
6) Now tune to channel with azap: " sudo azap -c ./channels.conf
'WFXT DT'<br>
7) Once a station is tuned you can use: "femon" to monitor too. <br>
<br>
What stinks is azap shows the signal strength in hex, but at least
this way I can ssh into my HTPC with my wi-fi laptop and monitor
signal levels. I've actually hacked the dvb-util source code a bit
to put signal levels into decimal as well as increase the speed of
the display. <br>
