Signal Strength Meter

I am looking for a "graphical" realtime signal strength meter to work with a HVR-2200. I've just installed a new VMC in my parents caravan, they get around a lot, all over Aus. I need something for them to be able to view the signal strength through their VMC so they can set their antenna when they get to their destination. The command line tool isn't user friendly enough. They used to have a Thompson PVR that they used to check the signal strength but we have since taken that out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Re: Signal Strength Meter

DigitalNOW have tiny Monitor that is shipped with all their products. Not sure if someone here would give you the software, Otherwise contact Renura at www.digitalnow.com.au and he could help you out. Great app, chews no resource, but you need to know the frequencies you want to check. Pretty easy to get that though as they don't change!

PM me if you need more help!

Re: Signal Strength Meter

Doesn't it only work with Twinhan tuners though?

Re: Signal Strength Meter

I believe that the TinyMonitor program only worked with the Tiny USB2 device (note the Tiny USB2 is a different product to the current Tiny Twin device).

The TinyUSB was a Twinhan 7045, so I think it was a Twinhan based tool - either way, I don't think it will work with the HVR.

Re: Signal Strength Meter

I actually downloaded it (I 2 different DigitalNow PCIe cards)... when I tried to open it I got 'Unable to open Twinhan device' message.

So I definitely don't think it will help with the HVRs.

Re: Signal Strength Meter

The Tiny Monitor was a Renura-Twinhan joint development and it was designed to work only with a few DigitalNow/Twinhan devices, of which the TinyUSB was the only one we marketed.

It will not work with other devices.
