So far I have a threshold, OVER which a channel can overwrite another. It would ideally need to be surfaced to the user.

Its a subjective threshold due to transmitter strength, weather and maybe other factors.

So far I have a threshold, UNDER which a channel is ignored. Due to the likely hood of it not rendering well.

Its a subjective threshold again, due to transmitter strength, weather and maybe other factors.

Indeed noted.

There is a little bit of UI work to do, but the behaviour outlined above is running very well here. I'm trying it different times of the day and adjusting thresholds too.

I can genuinely say I have now got the best tuning experience to date.

*** for my geo-location, current weather etc...

It would be great for others to try the SetupTv.exe attached in thread and report back good, bad or ugly ?

Future...

In addition for the UI it would need 2 threshold settings and a switch to enable 'Smart Scan' or something ?

Also, now we in theory have stronger signals coming into the system, we could enable auto register channel in EPG grab list.

Admittedly another UI switch.

I think there is only a need to maybe maintain the highest seen signal on a card. This could be used to 'normalise' strengths seen on other cards at other times. I would then use card strength to 'order' which card is tuned first. The strongest card should always be tuned last to ensure the strongest channels do indeed over write the weakest ones.

Code...

I can post this if needs be.
