Re: WDIV/NBC Detroit Signal Quality

So I'll be doing more experimenting with antenna positioning in the 120°-140° range.

As far as the uncorrected errors, I would think zero uncorrected errors would be the ultimate goal, but is probably unrealistic for anyone. What would be a realistic target in your experience? I'm just trying to ...

Re: WDIV/NBC Detroit Signal Quality


Beyond that, have you tested without the amp in the loop, and with the antenna pointed at 103° instead of 118°? I assume it's at 118° for WADL, but 15° is a pretty significant deviation as directional as that antenna is.

Testing without the amp in the loop will take a little more effort, but I ...

Re: Signal Strength App

@petelombardo Looks like there was a new release today. I couldn't find any sort of change log showing what was updated. Maybe I didn't look in the right place?

Re: Are Managed Ethernet Switches Bad For HDHR Devices?

Is there a reason why you are using a managed switch instead of just sticking with an unmanaged switch?

Re: WDIV/NBC Detroit Signal Quality


First thing to check, is the HDHomeRun is at least 3' away from other electronics, especially anything that deals with RF? Wireless routers often spew emissions on some random frequency in the 550-600MHz area, and if the HDHomeRun is close enough, it can clobber a single channel and leave others ...

Reading this post more carefully, I think it was referring to the work that was completed in early October, not recent work.

Re: WDIV/NBC Detroit Signal Quality

billmich, thank you for providing this information, I appreciate it.

Although to be honest, my first thought was "are you freaking kidding me!".

I would not have any issue with this, if television stations posted on their website when they are not operating from their primary transmitter. That way ...

Re: Question on splitters

Wow. Are you certain that your antenna amplifier is working? With a signal quality of 53%, I would expect that you would be having reception issues.

Re: Signal Strength App

I think I'm in a catch-22. From what I can tell, Unraid will not allow you to override the port number when the container is set to host mode. If I set the container to bridge mode, I can override the port number, and I can bring up the HDHomeRun signal monitor website, but it does not find any of ...

Re: Signal Strength App


The port is configurable through an environment variable at run-time. Is that not working?

I'm using Unraid, maybe the configuration settings are different? I'm attaching a screenshot of the Update Container screen, what would I need to do to configure the appropriate environment variable ...

Re: Signal Strength App

For the Docker hub container, any chance it could be updated so that the port number can be configurable?
