HDTV Signal Strength

[menos]

I'm trying to diagnose some HD problems I'm having and I think it might be in the signal strength. If I use the signal checker app that came with the dvico fusion it hovers right around 100% but I will occasionally, while watching hd, see bad artifacting and skipping.

What I'm looking for is some way of logging the results of a signal check. I just want to let it run for a few hours and see what I get.

I've looked around a little bit and all i've found are apps that show a realtime bar graph which is close but it don't want to sit there and stare at a graph for 4 hours.

I might be able to write my own if there were any API's I could call, though driver level calling would be possible i'd prefer to keep it as simple as possible.

Yes, that would be an interesting app...something to interface with Perfmon would be cool.

As a complete hack, if you are just interested in signal strength recording...there are applications that will record what happens on your screen, making a video. You could record dvico's signal checker and then play back the video at high speed, looking for times of problematic reception.

An interface to Perfmon would be ideal though maybe a little more involved than I desire.

If I could get the source to one of these signal checker apps I'm sure I could modify it to write out to a log file instead of display on a graph. Or possibly do both.
