Ask DBSTalk: How to check OTA signal strength?

[William_K_F]

Hello,

How do I check the signal strength of an OTA station on the 921?

Thanks.

2 ways currently - go to the OTA setup screen (Menu-6-8), then Add DTV. Enter the channel number.

Or, go to the point dish screen (menu-6-2). Change the tuner to Off-Air, then scroll to the channel you want to see.

The next version adds the signal strength indicator to the browse banner.

I think Mark meant "point dish screen (menu-6-2)." I tried this and mine just got stuck there and didn't let me change the tuner?

The next version adds the signal strength indicator to the browse banner.Cool! My wife just asked me about this. She remembered that our old 6000 used to do that.
