I seem to be having more problems with MythTV. My stations are pixelating and some aren't even connecting. They are in the 75 to 93 % signal strength. I know it's not my tuner. I have HDHomerun Extended and it's working fine with HDHomeRun app.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else seeing issues with 28 and High Sierra?
Re: Anyone else seeing issues with 28 and High Sierra?
I have no issues at all with High Sierra and mythtv 28. Works perfectly as far as tv and recordings.
Note signal strength by itself doesn't mean the channel will come in, there is also in hdhomerun a signal quality rating which is likely the problem.
You can run a command like this on Mac if you have hdhomerun software installed:
hdhomerun_config 104BE1F6 get /tuner1/status
Where /tuner1 is which tuner that has the station running and 104BE1F6 is your device id which you can get via:
hdhomerun_config discover
/tuner/status seems to work too (without the tuner #). For for me:
hdhomerun_config 104BE1F6 get /tuner/status
Yields:
ch=8vsb:207000000 lock=8vsb ss=96 snq=90 seq=100 bps=9909856 pps=941
ss = strength (96 for mine in this case), snq = quality (90 for mine in this case)
What does yours show?

Note that if you installed from MacPorts, you already have a copy of SiliconDust's utility--it is just renamed to 'mythhdhomerun_config'.

OK Here is what I have for a channel that is having no problems.
ch=8vsb:641000000 lock=8vsb ss=96 snq=98 seq=100 bps=11761280 pps=1117
and the one that is having problems.
ch=8vsb:213000000 lock=8vsb ss=88 snq=60 seq=100 bps=1845408 pps=177
ch=8vsb:641000000 lock=8vsb ss=96 snq=98 seq=100 bps=11761280 pps=1117
and the one that is having problems.
ch=8vsb:213000000 lock=8vsb ss=88 snq=60 seq=100 bps=1845408 pps=177

You can see the snq is only a 60, not the best.
Re: Anyone else seeing issues with 28 and High Sierra?
The interesting thing is the one with the weak sng is only 8 miles from my house. Where the one with 98 sng is 11 miles. Both are in the same direction.
Re: Anyone else seeing issues with 28 and High Sierra?
Yep, there are may potential reasons for that, could be reflections, all sorts of things. Probably best to find an antenna forum.
