Simple application to test Signal Strength

[breakaway]

As in title - does anyone know of a simple application to test signal strength? I realise DVBViewer has a built in function for this, but Is there another application which is available?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

For displaying raw values for strength and quality as delivered by the driver, I would recommend AltDVB. It is not too simple but may be effective if you are able to interpret the values (which is not always easy however)..

Or you use the script mentioned here:

Could you explain me how this script should work?

The link page you posted it's only for German speaker only...

i guess you mean post #7?

 

here the translation:

 

Dim DVBViewer, VoiceObj, DVBHardware, signal

 

Set DVBViewer = GetObject(, "DVBViewerServer.DVBViewer")

 

set VoiceObj = CreateObject("Sapi.SpVoice")

 

set DVBHardware=DVBViewer.DVBHardware

 

while true=true

signal=DVBHardware.SignalQuality(1)

VoiceObj.Speak cstr(signal)

wscript.sleep 1000

Wend

 

in eine datei speak.vbs speichern. (Save to a file named speak.vbs)

 

1. DVBViewer muss laufen und irgendein channel getunt sein. (DVBViewer must be running and tuned in to any channel)

2. Die sprache muss installiert sein, da weiss ich nicht ob das standard mässig ist. (Language must be installed, don't know if it is standard)

3. beenden geht nur über den taskmanager und dann wscript.exe abschiessen. (Quit only with taskmanager, closing wscript.exe)

4. starten über doppeltklick der speak.vbs oder über ausführen:

wscript "[kompletter pfad]\Speak.vbs" (Start with doubleclick on speak.vbs or by run: wscript "[complete path]\Speak.vbs")

I tried out the application and it's speaking away: zero .. zero .. zero .. zero, even though I have a viewable picture, using WinTV...
