Hi All,
I have the 4k version of HDHOMERUN and have a channel that partially works but not good enough. I want to adjust my antenna, but would really benefit from an Android app on my phone that shows signal strength as I adjust the antenna. I get this just fine on my Windows 11 PC using the HDHOMERUN Config GUI app, but would like to have that on my phone while on the ladder. Is there such a thing?
I got all the info to be able to write my own app, but would rather not have to dust off my Android app skills if I do not need to.
Thanks!
Signal Strength App

Re: Signal Strength App
Android you will have to search for an old apk and sideload such signal meter as its been my understanding Google took it down long ago for some reason
iOS one can get signal gh (paid product)
One thing you can do in a pinch is tune the channel on your pc and open the status.json from your phone but such will need to be periodically refreshed and not graphical.

The latest version of Hdhomerun Signal Meter (for Android) is 1.25, dated July 6, 2015. It's available from several sources. I recommend Apkpure:

Do you have another link that doesn't force you to install a Chrome extension?ebo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 9:51 am The latest version of Hdhomerun Signal Meter (for Android) is 1.25, dated July 6, 2015. It's available from several sources. I recommend Apkpure:

Re: Signal Strength App
I tried downloading from other sites available in the past but succeeded only at APKPure. I do have a Chrome extension on Firefox (userChrome) but it's for changing the appearance of Firefox, not its download ability. I also have Google Chrome but only use it for sites that don't allow Firefox (such as my bank).Phoenixfury wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 2:59 pmDo you have another link that doesn't force you to install a Chrome extension?ebo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 9:51 am The latest version of Hdhomerun Signal Meter (for Android) is 1.25, dated July 6, 2015.

Re: Signal Strength App
I just use remote desktop on my phone to my Windows PC when adjusting my antenna.

Re: Signal Strength App
note: the status.json works best when the phone has a pre-installed compass.signcarver wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 7:06 pm Android you will have to search for an old apk and sideload such signal meter as its been my understanding Google took it down long ago for some reason

Re: Signal Strength App
Is there ANY version of this app either for iOS or macOS? I have to adjust, reload, adjust, reload, adjust, reload, adjust, reload, adjust, reload, adjust, reload, adjust, reload...
It's ridiculous. This was so much easier in EyeTV.

Re: Signal Strength App
There is a third-party (paid) app for iOS called Signal GH, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/signal-gh/id289580769 .
