Signal Strength

Use the Signal Strength screens to test the incoming signal on specific channels.

Signal Strength - Antenna. The signal strength meter can help you make adjustments to your antenna position to optimize the reception of antenna channels.

Signal Strength - Cable. The signal strength meter can also help diagnose cable signal issues. For example, adding multiple RF splitters to your RF cable source (the cable coming from the wall) can result in reduced signal strength on some channels. Use the meter to check signal strength with and without splitters.
