[mythtv-users] Signal strength, DVB-T

[Richard Scott]

For me (2 x Nova-T) on the Sudbury transmitter, MythTV reports a signal 
strength of 30-40%.

The DVB command line utils (tzap,etc) report a much, much better signal 
strength and a Humax receiver connected in place of either tuner reports 
95 or 100% signal.

I have a vague recollection that it's an issue with some DVB drivers - 
they don't report the signal strength in the way Myth expects.
