Right!! This is a very good idea!
yes, I second that!
As I said about the <Shift>-<!> key to get some info about the current situation in mediaportal https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?p=86884#86884:
I would be very, very useful to get more information about signal strengh and quality to adjust the antenna carefully.
bye, urev

The problem comes in when the DRIVERS that are supplied by the card manufacturer actually give misinformation regarding signal strenght\quality.
This has been reported many a time that someone is getting a good signal and been unable to find any channels (as shown when tuning).
A good example of this is the Hauppauge TD-500 which has the ability with 2 aerial inputs for its dual tuners to switch to diversity mode which combines signal from both inputs and sends the signal to just one tuner, increasing its sensitivity, allowing it to receive a signal where it would not have been able to before, the owner insisted it was not a aerial problem until he tried diversity mode and found it worked ok, where previously he could not tune any channels despite the signal strenght showing to be fine.
Software signal detectors are not the best, cannot beat a good old signal meter for setting up aerial\sat.
One day may get incorporated into TVE3 if the Devs decide to implement it, but for DVB reception it varies on different transponders anyway.
But do not rely on it.
Regards

I'd like to see this as a feature, but as Paranoid says it seems to be variable as to what the tuners report back. I have 3 tuners using tve3 and 1 shows full signal and the other 2 show it variable but are all being fed by the same aerial and all get perfect reception.
