Description

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.

  • GREAT!

    This app makes troubleshooting and optimization a breeze! From problematic tuners to problematic cable connections, to Splitters, preamps and antennas, getting complete data from the actual point of usage, after passing through the Entire system, makes diagnosing and resolution a quick matter. THANK YOU!
  • 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!

    This App Crashes constantly. Channel numbers are wrong. Experiments don’t work. Pretty useless. I recommend to skip this and use the HDHomeRun PC app. Lookup HDHomeRun_config_gui. It’s available after installing the pc app on your computer. I wished this worked. I gave it 2 stars because it is a great idea.

    1. Add an option to leave the screen on when on the signal page. When pointing my antenna, it was annoying to constantly wake the iPad screen. Additionally, it would be nice if the app would still poll when the screen was 2. Tweak the UI so it’s clearer which circle is signal strength and which is signal quality. It was pretty confusing and I constantly mixed up the two. 3. Increase the signal polling frequency and store a longer history. I’d like to be able to review a longer dataset to ensure the channel is stable. 4. Plot signal quality levels on the signal chart by the reference lines. Also some indication to indicate loss of symbol lock on the chart would be real nice too. Other than that, this app was extremely helpful in helping me find the perfect position for a high gain antenna in a cramped attic. Watching the signal graph made it easy to try different positions. The experiment page made it easy to determine which antenna/filter/preamp works best. Nice work!
  • Good dev response

    (See below for response) I can no longer switch channel that I’m monitoring because the list of channels drop-down refreshes on every tick, so I can scroll it before it refreshes - scrolling me back - every time. This is on an iPhone 12 Pro (not max).
  • Fantastically helpful - get it!

    We have been using this app for the past few years to optimize our Mohu antenna for our HD home run. The app was indispensable for helping us figure out the best antenna location and continues to help with fine tuning and maximizing signal. I highly recommend the app - its fantastic!
  • Makes Antenna Aiming Easy

    Using this app with my HDHomeRun really made it easy to re-aim my antenna and get instant feedback on signal quality without having to go up and down the ladder to check the signal on the TV.
  • ATSC 3 support broke scanning

    I really like this app, but the latest version broke scanning. The app starts to scan and the stops with no channels (stations) found. Before this version I would have given 5 stars, but it’s useless now. Note, if I disable the two ATSC3 tuners the scan will proceed. Note 2 - The email author option is disabled.
  • No ATSC 3 support

    It says it does support with experimental but I see nowhere to choose those channels to see the strength. Since I had to pay for it I’m very irritated they lied about the support for 3.0. I have the hdhome 4K and I have the channels in 3.0 in my HDHomeRun app so I know I pick them up.
