Change the signal strength status refresh rate?

[antdude]

Hello!

 

I noticed in DVBViewer TE, it updates like every few seconds, but Pro v3.9.2.0 takes longer like ten seconds. How can I change Pro's refresh rate to faster updates since I hate waiting ten seconds for an update while tweaking my antennae.

 

Thank you in advance.

No one knows? I upgraded TE too, and now it refreshes slow too.

Hardcoded. Not possible. The slow refresh rate avoids problems with faulty drivers causing a high CPU load when querying them too often for signal strength/quality.

Is there an addon, a third party program, or something to check signal strengths? I hate waiting about 15 seconds to see how good my signals are when adjusting my huge bowtie antenna for my two Broadband Technologies Air2PC-ATSC-PCI HDTV tuner cards (r0.2; DVB). Edited December 28, 2008 by antdude

You can use this:

if you want "quick" signal statistics, but be aware that even if the application reads them quickly, there's no guarantee that the driver is reporting them immediately. I think there is something like 5 seconds delay for eMPIA devices between the strength/quality changing and this being reflected in the driver's BDA signal stats.

 

(And then of course some drivers report absolute nonsense too)

It didn't work for my two cards:

Could not find any BDA devices. Check that drivers are installed and that the TV tuner is connected to your PC.
