Hdhomerun Signal Meter

Great little app if you have an HDHomeRun, although it wasn't obvious how to use it, and there are no instructions. You have to make sure your phone is connected to the same network as the HDHomeRun, then click the scan button. You also have to make sure a channel is playing through the HDHomeRun. Then you'll see the Sig Strenth & Quality bars change. I don't know what Sym Quality is (not explained). Turn your antenna and watch how bars change until they're better, then lock your antenna in place.

Auto detection of the device is great if all of your network is fed by one WiFi router. If you have a larger or more complicated network setup to allow the WiFi network to access the wired network then you need an option for manual IP entry. Not complaining because it is free and I applaud the developer's effort. Just be aware it only works on very simple setups.

I really want to use this, but the fact I am unable to access anything not on my wireless subnet immediately prevents me from using this. I understand not being able to scan, but at the very least let me manually designate an IP. It would stand to reason that people who choose to implement a networked OTA tuner would be the geeky sort, and maybe some of them would have a network that is atypical.

Little buggy and a few crashes but that being said saved a lot of work in getting an antenna aligned. Thanks!

the app is a nice convenient tool, but it freezes up on my during use.

A keep screen on/awake option would be sweet.

so nice app

Wast

Great app

I love this app on my android phone and tablet but it will not work on my chromebook with android apps. Would appreciate if developer could look into why this is. Kodi does pick up my tuner with the mythtv pvr addon just fine.

handy. I used screen shots to save channel information that was discovered.

This is the best app for aiming OTA antennas available.

Works well.

Super handy app

signal strength and other stats gave this two stars, but I cannot change the channel easily. one of every ten tries will the app actually go to another channel. app is that useful. it's easier to just see how the TV reception changes.

the app is a nice convenient tool, but it freezes up on my during use.

Great way to tune antenna and see instant results.

Really helps to adjust antenna when you can see the signal strength.

Superb app for showing all the facets of digital TV reception - signal strength, signal to noise, and most importantly, symbol quality. Some channels with great strength and SN ratio have intermittent symbol dropouts that otherwise wouldn't be noticeable until viewing. This app shows it all. If you've got an HDHomeRun, you really should get this too.

I don't have the time it would take to describe all the ways this app is disappointing. In order to adjust an antennae using this app you would have to have a pencil and paper to write down all of the station number translations during the 15+ minutes it takes to manually "scan" each individual station. Then manually type in the stations you want to tune/adjust in a tedious process of turn, type, wait, repeat. The alternative is to "scan" them several times to make sure getting one station clear doesn't undo the tuning of another. This, of course, would take several hours if you live anywhere near a metropolitan area. There are 2 or 3 extremely simple UI enhancements that could make this "simple" app actually usable. Since this hasn't happened in the last year, I don't expect it anytime soon. For the love of all that's usable, couldn't you at least retain the list of tuned stations to scroll through?! From my experience with app development, I can only imagine that the original app was written in less than an hour and the only development time devoted to it since has been debugging.

This app is very helpful in adjusting the antenna remotely. The only thing I could possibly find missing is the frequencies being tuned to. The app on the computer does show that when it scans though. Sometimes when the signal is less than 100% but still green the whole bat goes green.

I loved being able to check the signal while up in the attic. While it took me a minute to figure out, changing the channel was extremely useful when trying to balance between two stations in different directions.

I was the guy with the laptop... So practical, silicondust should pay you and advertise the app on their site. I get all the info I need to aim the antenna without climbing ladders so often or lugging laptops to the roof in the middle of winter.

Just what I needed. And thank you for making it free!

Isn't support for mobile

Now this is a real time saving App when your setting up your HDHomeRun!! This App is a must when determining the best place to position your Dual's HD antenna, and/or even when validating the quality of your in wall coax runs, splitters, loss and checking for end point SNR with either the Dual or Prime with CC!! The only way to make this any better would be to have an automated select channel 'sweep' loop that you could setup to identify 2 or 3 channels to cycle between when you posistion the Antenna in order to determine a best physical averaging position for placement considering your favorite channels. This would help those of us trying to locate that perfect sweet spot with HD stations located in all directions (city) vs mainly located in one direction (suburbs and outskirts) when tuning for signal averaging vs peaking.

Fantastic! This is a huge help when I'm up in the attic trying to adjust my antennas. It works flawlessly. One suggestion, it would be nice to have two buttons to quickly scroll through frequencies (instead of auto-scanning) so that I don't have to type in a specific number.

Thank you so much for this App...I was able to align my antenna on my roof while watching the signal strength in this app. Sooo much easier than getting a second person via radio to relay the info. Only thing better would be to be able to view the channel on screen.

Works great, so much better than yelling from my attic to the wife. Now, to get video...

If you are installing an HDHomerun then you probably need thus app! Works great with my Prime

App works, and layout similar to what you see setting up tuner on PC.

This is a big help when I'm adjusting antennae in my attic!

Now to watch HD-Homerun TV on my Android devices too...

Had been using the windows version of hdhomerun config on my pc and using remote desktop 2x client on my phone which worked ok. This app is much easier. It would be nice to see multiple tuners at once for finding the sweet spot between channels.

Got this downloaded just as I was hooking up my new HD antenna to my newly purchased HDHomerun, and this was perfect for making sure I had everything pointed correctly along with checking my Coax connections. Awesome app!

Thank you! VNC or hauling my netbook outside was getting silly. Update: Still awesome. Practically a must.

Download hi nahi ho rha hai.

This app woks very well.

I just installed an antenna in the attic, in August, in Houston. Needless to say I didn't want to stay up there long. This app let me measure signal strength from my phone while in the attic adjusting the antenna. I couldn't be more grateful.
