Unfortunately, I do not live in the wedge shown on the map, I actually live about nine miles west and two miles north of the main antenna. 9.4 miles as the crow flies. I have not received a response from WDIV yet, I sure wish I knew if they were operating on the standby antenna or not. If this is a ...

Thanks for the reminder why all of my antennas are in my attic.

Thanks Jason. I've sent an email to WDIV to hopefully find out if the issue is on their end or not. I'll post their response if I receive one.

The signal quality for WDIV-DT has been what I can only describe as volatile (constant rapid fire 30% increase/decrease) at my house for the past few months. I've tried everything I can think of with all three of my antennas, including raising and lowering the gain sent to my HDHomeRuns. Nothing ...

NOTE: It would be nice if your Windows tuner status utility was available as an Android mobile app and had provided specifics beyond percentages. Things like the channel frequency and dB levels would be nice. Like Wifi scanner apps almost, but for TV.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, the SignalGH app is well worth the $2.99 that they charge. There are videos on youtube that show how to use all of the features.

Bummer. I use an open source software solution to access my HDHomeRun tuners, so I don't really use the SiliconDust software very much. I liked that the hardware had it's own forum, since the software side seems to have a lot more posts to sift thru.

Were the Software and Hardware forums merged into the HDHomeRun Setup & Troubleshooting forum? Cuz I can't find the hardware forum anymore...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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?

FYI, this seems to work in PowerShell:

(new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile( 'http://192.168.1.41:5004/tuner3/v20.1?duration=6000', 'NUL:')

No error and no file that I can find.

I'm filing this under the "I'm sorry I even asked" category. I already reverted the code back to capture the stream(s) to a local drive.

I have a data collection PHP script that runs 24/7, that queries all 14 tuners once per minute. If any of the tuners are actively streaming (i.e. TargetIP ...

Yes, I have used that before. The http api gives me the exact same functionality (including signal status from a non-streaming tuner) as the hdhomerun_config app, but includes additional information that the hdhomerun_config app cannot provide. Plus using the hdhomerun_config app will use more ...
