From other postings it seems most Signal Strength indicators actually measure Signal Quality. I’m using WMC7 on an HTPC but also have a Dish DVR with an OTA tuner that has a signal indicator which displays from 0-100%. It seems I’m having a bit of a multipath problem which causes the signal indicator to sometimes display fluctuating readings which could mean it‘s displaying quality. However when I removed a 4-way splitter from the antenna coax the signal indicator gave a higher reading which could mean it’s displaying strength. Is there any way to tell what it’s really measuring?
Hauppauge tuners come with software that indicates SNR and errors. However my HTPC uses AVerMedia Duet tuner cards which don’t have anything similar. I’ve seen “TSReader Lite” mentioned & it appears to indicate SNR and errors. Instead of buying a Hauppauge tuner would TSReader Lite do about the same thing regarding signal quality?
