I'm having reception issues on one particular mux and want really need to reposition my ariel. I've tried with the totally useless signal bar on my set top box but it doesn't really help. Is there any way I can get GBPVR to display the signal strength/quality of the channel being view on screen. Either that or some other small app which does the same job. I could use ScanChannelBDA but I'd rather not spend several minutes up the ladder waiting for the scan to finish before I'm told "try left a bit again"!

Ctrl + O when in live mode, this works for dvb-t not sure about anything else like dvb-s/c.

I should point out though, it only works with devices that return values in the 0 -100 range (like the Twinhan devices I use). Some other devices use strange ranges that'll show no signal.

I use TSReader Lite to adjust my antenna position. It has a power meter on it.
