Signal GH is a tool for users of the HDHomerun networked digital TV tuner who want to monitor and improve their Over The Air (OTA) reception quality. It graphs signal quality from multiple channels simultaneously, allowing a user to more rapidly adjust and upgrade OTA receiving hardware, i.e., cables, connections, splitters, pre-amps, and antennas. Snapshot the state of your system using the Experiments tab to keep track of what worked and what didn't work. United States users also have the benefit of a map of digital television broadcasting towers. Depends on the accuracy of your device's compass. If you don't have an HDHomerun, you don't need this product. If you do have an HDHomerun, and use it for over the air reception, you will likely find it useful. If the automatic scan does not find a station you expect, tap on the station's real digital channel in the unused channel column under Settings. Signal GH does not support QAM (digital cable) Please make sure your HDHomerun is set to use a broadcasting channel set and not a cable channel set. You cannot use this software to watch video on your iOS device. This is a diagnostic tool.

Awesome App!

I used this app, an HDHonerun quad tuner I already had and another great piece of software from this developer (TV Towers U.S.A.) to install an antenna at my dad’s house, and it turned what used to be a long game of “point and guess” into a quick, simple and painless task. (More than that, it actually made it kind of fun!) The Towers app made it easy to know where to point the antenna, while the SignalGH app let me see the strength of the signals I was receiving in real time on my phone without having to run up and down the ladder. Because my HDHomerun device had four tuners, I could dial into four different stations at the same time and see how moving towards one station affected the signal I received from the others. Once we completed things and did a Channel scan, we picked up everything we were expecting and a few more. I didn’t have to re-climb the ladder and adjust the antenna once. If you have an HDHomerun, using these two apps together will greatly simplify your antenna installation process, especially if you’re doing it by yourself. I highly recommend them both. Thanks for making these great apps. Job well done!

This app saved me a couple hundred $$$

I've been pulling my hair out trying to fix a couple if signal quality issues with my OTA antenna. I thought I had tried everything. Moved antenna incrementally only to resolve one problem and create another. I decided to try this App out before ordering a new Channel Master Pro plus the preamp. To my surprise, I set up the app to monitor my problem channels and went outside at the antenna. Watching the channel signal quality and signal strength on my iPhone, I slowly moved my antenna. Wow! Just turning it 1.5"-2" on the mast fixed everything. Hard to believe such a small change affected the reception so much. Thanks to this app I could easily see what was happening. Amazing helpful app. Thanks so much.

I’m honestly surprised in the number of bad reviews from people who can’t read and don’t understand that this is an app for the HDHomerun line of equipment. That said, if you know what this app is and what it is for, it is an invaluable tool for anyone setting up an OTA system with at least one HDHomerun device. Having live feedback of antenna positioning including all the transmitter data, compass directions, etc will ensure you get the best signal your equipment can handle. I especially love the ability to compare multiple tuners and channels on the fly to see how a position may improve one channel but degrade another.

A MUST for proper antenna placement

The fact that this app samples many channels at one time is a wonderful advantage when placing an antenna because you can see the signal of all of the stations at one time. If you have trees, as most know, one station may work well at a specific height or location, and another may not. With this app, you can move the antenna around until you have ALL channels at 100% and your DONE! Takes the guess work out of finding the optimum signal location for your antenna. Very good!
