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.

LZ130,
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!
FidgetyRat,
Extremely Useful
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.

Invaluable for cord cutters
I’ve been troubleshooting issues for months with my HDHomeRun Duo and Plex Live TV. Plex would disconnect and complain about a weak signal, but I had no indication of the actual signal strength at the HDHomeRun box.
I purchased Signal GH, and immediately determined my signal strength was lousy. I used it to systematically troubleshoot my antenna installation, and discovered the transformer on my external antenna had a broken lead. Replaced the transformer, and Signal GH confirmed my signal strength was excellent, and the antenna was pointed correctly.
I use Signal GH anytime Plex hiccups so I can rule out signal strength. Invaluable app!

Helpful app, few suggestions
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!

Version 3 is a superb update
New GUI MUCH more useful! I had this a few years and think the new interface will be much easier for new users. Scans are much faster and more complete. Everything is better. I use it with HDhomerun 4 tuner and find it invaluable. I always recommended it but now consider it a must have. Thank you!

Version 2.3 killed this app for me
I used to use this app almost every day to adjust my antenna so I could pick up hard to reach channels. It worked perfectly up until version 2.3 came out. Now its broken. Channel scans do not work and it gets the real and virtual channels all wrong. Tried reinstalling it and it was even worse. This is a serious setback for me.
EvansGirl24,
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!
TCCapeCodder,
Lost without it
I have a less than ideal antenna location with lots of trees and neighbors. I was totally guessing before I added this app with a HDHomeRun. Because of location challenges, I have to tweak the alignment once in a while. This app gives me the signal and quality readings for my best alignment. A must have. Many thanks to the developer.

Great App
I am Recording OTA using two HDHomeRun Quattro, I am getting glitches where sound and picture go off for a while and it irritating. Watching the channels normally is no glitches at all. This app tells me that my antenna is not the problem which is a great investment... I am getting 100% Quality and Strength on the channels I notice the issue.
ScienceOfDirt,
Feature request
The app works very well for checking the signal coming from the antenna for processing. It would be great if you could change the refresh rate when doing this though. That would eliminate the slight lag in seeing the effect of the antenna position change.
