Yeah, I know it's a long-shot, but then again it can't hurt to ask.
The detailed dBmV / dB values are present within the current OTA tuners, they are just disabled unless you have a DEV unit. I upgraded to DEV units awhile back, it has helped me optimize my antennas immensely.

Re: Background channel scan: How to deal with tropo channels overwriting locals?
You must still be using a tuning adapter to get channel scans to complete in 7-10 minutes. My high split converter channel scans are taking between 90 and 120 minutes to complete (https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=404886#p404886). I assume that a background channel scan is only ...

HDHomeRun Prime Firmware Enhancement?
When I view the tuner status webpage for my Primes, signal strength in dBmV and signal quality in dB are displayed alongside the percentage equivalents. However, when I send a status.json request for the tuner, only the percentages are returned. Is it possible for the firmware to be enhanced to also ...

Re: Background channel scan: How to deal with tropo channels overwriting locals?
Until now, I was not aware of any sort of background channel scan(s) occurring. Are these triggered internally within the HDHomeRun device, or does external software (e.g. HDHomeRun app for Windows/Mac/Linux etc.) trigger the background channel scans?

Re: Optimal Attenuation for HDHomeRun FLEX 4K DEV Units
I upgraded all of my HDHRs to 20250623 (I usually wait a month or so before I apply vendor software/firmware upgrades, in case any issues are found). Everything seems to be running perfectly, and the SignalStrengthDBmV field is returning values to one decimal place for my dev units. Thanks for the ...

Re: no tuner detected
A word of caution, though. Depending on what the purpose is for the secondary router, it might not be appropriate to enable bridge mode. For instance, if the OP is using the secondary router to isolate IOT devices from the rest of the network, enabling bridge mode would defeat the purpose. A guest ...

Re: no tuner detected
One of the main purposes of a router is to block unwanted incoming WAN port traffic from getting to the LAN port(s). There are various ways to loosen the restrictions and allow some or all traffic thru to the LAN ports. Having more than one router in a home network is not typical, and requires an ...

Re: High Split Converter Problem
Well, the problem with the second Prime/HSC device has been resolved, yay! Now I am back to how I was before the HSC conversion began, and only had to spend a combined 7 hours talking with Spectrum CableCARD support and working with Spectrum technicians in my basement. Ironically, there was not a ...

Re: High Split Converter Problem
Comparing some of the Prime webgui screens between the functional and non-functional units, I notice the UPM Address looks to have a legitimate value (0x0309F4) for the functioning unit. The non-functioning unit has a UPM Address of 0x000000. Could that be some or all of my problem?

Re: High Split Converter Problem
That was a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. I went ahead and installed a different cable, with the same end result. One thing that I did notice, however. When I looked closer at the HSC channel map, it is including channels that my Spectrum plan does not get (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc.) The ...
