Is there any accurate way of seeing what's the signal strenght? I'm asking this because we're installing these cards on multiple set-top-boxes around the country. And having the signal strenght value would be a very good point for us as we could easely report the value and check if all is good with the antenna's installation. If the signal varies between tuners, maybe is there some kind of table referencing, per card, what is a good signal? Thanks for the info!
