Re: Signal Strength App

@petelombardo, I have run into situations in the past where the developer of a piece of software/freeware discontinues support and enhancements, for whatever reason. Unless there is another developer with the coding skills required to pick up where the original developer left off, it becomes "use at ...

The template update finally arrived, I'm running successfully in Bridge mode.

Re: Signal Strength App


just remember also to specify the devices with the variable if you do switch to bridge mode as autodiscovery will stop working.

According to comments on a recent commit (in github),
This adds an HTTP fallback using the HDHomeRun cloud API (ipv4-api.hdhomerun.com/discover) when UDP finds no ...

Re: Signal Strength App

It still does not seem to want to install with Bridge as the default. Here are the steps that I performed:

Stopped the docker
Removed the docker (with the 'also remove image' checkbox checked
From the community Apps screen, clicked on 'Previous Apps', then 'Docker'
Checked the checkbox next to ...

Hmmm, I just removed the docker and then installed it again. It's still installing as a "Host" Network Type. Maybe I need to try again later?

Re: Signal Strength App

I noticed a change that was recently made to the Signal Strength app:

Add HTTP fallback discovery for HDHomeRun devices; switch Docker to bridge networking

After I updated the docker (within Unraid), I tried modifying the docker Network Type to Bridge (from Host). After the docker was restarted ...

Re: Prime low signal quality

Swapping cable feed with another PRIME that has high (XXXXXX09) quality shows the same low results.
When you swapped the Primes did you also swap power supplies?

Also, just as a reference, the signal strength for my Prime(s) is 96% (-2.6 dBmV). Wondering if you need to have a cable tech visit ...

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 ...

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 ...
