[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1216736, member: 82144"] Ahhh, indoor antenna. (facepalm) It's imminently doable for DVB-T (I do it myself because my flat doesn't have an aerial/antenna output in my room). However DVB-T2 requires a higher signal to noise ratio... which basically means that premium signal quality is required. Premium signal quality is very hard to achieve with an indoor antenna unless the transmitter polarisation is vertical (ie. suits an upright telescoping/"bunny-ear" aerial) and the antenna can be positioned near a window with reasonable line-of-sight (or reflection/refraction) from the transmitter. If the transmitter polarisation is horizontal They don't look too bad, but I'm not sure how accurate CrazyScan is. Also, you need consistency. Often with an indoor antenna the signal can be okay at certain times, but deteriorates at other times. No. Normally it's not possible to get "proper" signal readings (SNR in dB, strength in dBm etc.) from a PC tuner. Only software that can use the tuner's technical/expert proprietary interfaces can get that information. CrazyScan is the only software I know of that can do it for TBS tuners. [/QUOTE]
