[QUOTE="shindigo, post: 1027361, member: 87325"] Hi all - I use MediaPortal with over-the-air ATSC signals in an area that has spotty reception. Regularly I go up on the roof and re-position the antenna trying to improve my signal. I would like to write an add-on to MediaPortal that can transmit the signal quality and errors in the tuner card to my phone. I want to start with the server-side of the app that asks TV Server what the signal quality and error rates are and logs them. I have done a little reading on DirectShow and filters and wanted to know if there is a way to tap into the MP filter graph and get out the signal quality and error rate from an external program or a plug-in. I'm looking for some advice on where to start. I'm a professional C# programmer, so digging into existing code is not a problem. I have looked at some of the TVServer code, but having difficulty finding anything having to do with signal quality. If you know of an existing app that does some or all of what I need, please let me know. I'm not looking to re-invent anything, just looking to make it easier for us over-the-air folks. Thanks in advance - Mike Parker [/QUOTE]
