Real time signal strength gauge for OTA antenna

I was wondering if anyone knew of a real time signal strenght gauge software that I could download. I think my antenna may have shifted and was wanting to check the signal strength for a couple channels without having to go through the ss setup program. I would appreciate any help.

Re: Real time signal strength gauge for OTA antenna

I have downloaded the file, but not sure how to make it work. Does it automatically find channels for you, or do you just enter the channel number, and if so , does the ATSC channel correspond to the normal channel?

Re: Real time signal strength gauge for OTA antenna

Never mind, I figured it out. I just went to my advance settings in BTV and looked at the settings and channels.
