Checking signal strength with cable box on

If possible, how would I be able to check the signal strength for one of my cable boxes while it is turned on? I know how to do it when it is off and I know how to do it with a digital adapter. I asked a whole back specifically regarding the Cisco RNG150N but I didn't get a response.

If it's a non-x1 RNG150, then I do not believe there is a way to do it with it turned on. Is there a reason why you don't want to turn the cable box off?

I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

TS3274 On my iPhone I can update the 3G signal strength by dialing *228 with Verison. Is there anyway I can update signal strength with my ipad.

it does not really update your signal strenght, It disconnects you from network and reconnects you back. Termin is reprovisioning. Once your phone is reconnected it autmatically searches for the best cell on the closest tower. You can do the same by simply turning off your wifi radio (airplane mode off). As far as I know there is nothing on your ipad that will make them(verizon) to reprovision your account on their side.

Macbook low wireless signal strength with Time Capsule

Hi,
I have a macbook (2,1) 1,83 Ghz connected to my brand new Time Capsule 1 TB in 802.11b/g/n compatible mode. I have also my iPhone hooked up to my Time Capsule through wireless network.
I have issues on the macbook with the wifi, sometimes it drops and sometimes it is really slow.
So I just checked on Time Capsule under the "Wireless Clients" tab in "Logs and statistics" to see the signal strength I get.
I put both iPhone and macbook next to the Time Capsule, here are the results of the signal strength:
I get a signal strength in dBm of :
-27 for the macbook !!
66 for the iphone !!
Here is a screenshot: http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3853/timcacapsulehm6.png
Please help, I think I have a problem either with macbook or Leopard 10.5.2 ??

The Time Capsule will provide more wireless signal coverage if you connect it permanently to the Virgin modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection. Ethernet cabling can be run up to 300 feet or 100 meters with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule where it will be needed.
Configure the Time Capsule to create a new network that uses the same wireless network name and password as the Virgin wireless network and you will have, in effect, one "big" network.

1242AP how to check signal strength

I have a 1242 set up as a bridge tied to a solid dish. About 3 miles away I have 3 yagis set up as a non bridge working fine. I set a forth yagi say 800 ft away from a working yagi and the siginal works for a few minutes and then shuts down so I mounted a 50 ft. tower same problem so i replaced the yagi with a solid dish yesterday and my connection lasted the day and this morning it was down again.
There has to be a way to see the signal strength but I don't see it in the configuration. I swaped the unit with the one at a working location and it works just fine. The only thing I haven't done is try a different cable. I'm using a 100ft premade cable from Cisco.
Any help is greatly appriciated
Thanks

show dot11 associations all
typically shows signal strength, and SNR along with a few otehr details when users connect.. While i have no experience with bridges, i would expect that this would have the same effect.
Hope it works for you.

Problems with signal strength with channels on Mux...

I've had a YouView box (Humax first gen model) for almost a week and i'm having pixelation/signal strength problems with all channels on Mux. Com5, Pick, Dave, Movie Mix and Really etc. My Vision+ box and TV are showing these channels without any problems. Any ideas?

I have a similar problem.
(But not on Crystal Palace Tx).
Switch to a poor channel. (Dave for example. This is one I have problems with).
Go to Settings, TV Settings, Freeview Signal Strength.
Now press the Info button to get extra information.
Note the UHF channel number, the channel is being received on.
Get the same channel information, on the other Freeview receiver you have.
In my case, the UHF channels are different.
I believe, the Youview box is pre-set to receive from a transmitter (and hence a UHF channel number), determined by a post-code and/or your address details.
Because my aerial is not pointing at the main transmitter for my post code, I get poor reception because the transmitter the aerial is pointing at, transmits Dave (MUX) on another UHF channel.
As confirmed by the other freeview receivers I have.
There doesn't seem to be a way to force the box to use any other UHF channel.
Any scan always comes up with the same one.
There is no manual setting.
I might be totally wrong, but I think this is another software bug.

Imac 27 with cable box

i have an imac 27 inch
i whant to now what can use to conect my cable box to my imac..
i have contact apple and there not able to help me...
please can some one help me?

I have no idea what you want exactly and I'm not that familiar with their product line. I would recommend you either contact Elgato directly or you can look for a dealer in your area. You can find a dealer locator on Elgato's website. Be descriptive about what you would like, for example is HDTV important, do you want DVR capablities etc...

Mifi 5510L increase signal strength with an antenna?

Purchased a 5510L to use in a rural area.(north central Louisiana) Device stays in home with a tin roof, signal is terrible (-98) if I want to ATTEMPT to increase signal can anyone suggest hardware to purchase? I don't see an external antenna port on this device so I'm not sure what I can use to help boost, if anything will help.

For Jetpacks that do not come with an antenna port users must purchase what is known as a "cradle". Cradles are like a nearfield wireless technology that allows you to convert the reception from a wired external antenna to the cradle where the Jetpack normally rests.
Check out Wilson Electronics for the current options. Wilson also offers a variety of indoor and outdoor booster solutions such as amplifiers and antennas that can connect to the cradle.

I have alot drop calls and bad signal strength with my iphone 4, please help

I have alot of problems when I speak to all parties and the keep saying, are you there...are you there almost all the time, please help me

To solve this issue you must first find out if it's a carrier problem or device problem.
So what I suggest is that you try another sim card from another carrier, if you still have issue with the device than you can try a clean restore according to HT1414.
If that dont solve the problem contact apple support.
goodluck

1820M digital inputs don't work with cable box, receiver digital outputs?

I just installed an 1820M on an XP-Pro machine (AMD 3800+ X2). Downloaded the optical and coax loopback tests and they work fine. But I can't get it to take digital input from either my Comcast HD-DVR or my Denon AVR-1907 receiver. I know the Comcast DVR digital outputs work - they worked with my receiver and with my old Logitech 5300s.
I've tried everything I can think of:
- take external sync from S/PDIF
- set the optical to ADAT so it doesn't mess up the coax s/pdif input
This seems like such an obvious application. Has anyone gotten it to work?
Thanks

This is my point - the currently active channel does not produce sound through its multiple outputs unless Logic is playing.
So, for example, if I am auditioning different drum grooves from RMX through the multiple outputs (for the purpose of putting effects/processors on the outputs in Logic) this only works when Logic is playing.
Or if, in BFD, I have the direct Snare coming out of one output into an aux, and then a direct Kick coming out and output into another aux, I cannot hear them unless Logic is playing - I can only hear the ambient mic's as these are mapped to Outputs 1-2 which are the initial track you set the multiple output AU up on.
If none of this is something you tend to do, I guess it's hard to understand!
Thanks,
Alex.

What is the optimal db signal strength?

I noticed that in the set box diagnostics you can check your signal strengh db. Can someone tell me what is optimal. Mine says good as is about 26-28db.
Thanks

The SNR number, is the signal strength to the box.
I really wish that people would not spread incorrect information. SNR is a quality measure (Signat to Noise Ratio) not a signal level measure. It is strictly the measure of how much above the background RF noise (present on all signals) the wanted signal is. One can have a strong signal and a poor SNR if there is a lot of noise and conversely one can have a good SNR with a weak signal is there is little noise.
Signal levels are typically specified as dBmV or dBm in controlled impedance systems.
Sorry for getting technical, but it is one of my pet peeves when wrong technical information is espoused as truth

Sudden Decreased Wifi Signal Strength

I recently "upgraded" my internet from 35 to 50, and since then have noticed that my wifi has been absolutely terrible. I can't even use my Galaxy S4 because unless I'm no further than about 50 feet away, it disconnects so many times that I want to throw it through a wall. And now I'm about to go over my monthly data allowance because it never allows me to be connected to wifi.
I walk my dog daily and noticed that before I could make it all the way down the block, a good 100 yards, and still be connected to my home wifi. Now it doesn't even kick in until I'm literally walking in the front door. I've been reading all of the blogs and have seen tons of similar complaints from other customers, but am just wondering if by some miracle someone on here would have some advice for me that will actually work. I've reset the router, changed the channels, turned off my phone's bluetooth....nothing has worked.
Anyone out there have the miracle cure? I'll owe you one!

Since nobody has jumped in with a miracle cure, let me start a dialog with this.
It seems unlikely that your wifi range would change just because you changed speed plans. Do you have another WiFi device, a laptop, etc., that you can check your WiFi signal strength with? As a troubleshooting step, I would want to eliminate the possiblity that it's your Galaxy S4 that has developed a problem receiving WiFi signals.
If you can confirm that your phone is not the problem, my suggestion would be add a 3rd party wireless access point to your network, Netgear, Linksys, etc. While I've had no problem with my Actiontec router, I (and others) have found that its WiFi coverage doesn't measure up to other manufacturers' WiFi devices.

NEED HELP --- hooking up tv, cable box, home theater

60" Samsung smart TV --- contains several HDMI inputs
Time Warner HD cable box --- contains 1 HMDI input; components as well
LG Home Theater in a box, Model #BH6820SW --- contains 1 HDMI output, red/white aux input, & yellow video output.
Very simple...... I want to turn my TV on, change channels with cable box remote & have my sound from TV come out of this home theater in a box I just bought.
I've been at this for hours and I'm ready to take it back because of the ongoing frustration. I have 3 HDMI cables to use (which obviously I won't need all of them), I have a red/white audio cables and a yellow video cable to use if needed.
Can someone out there PLEASE explain how this can be done?????????
Thanks.

You may be able to do it by running a Digital Optical cable to the Digital optical input on the LG from the TW Cable Box, and a seperate HDMI cable to the TV from the TW Cable box.
Honestly though, I'd take it back and get a an AVR with HDMI switching, a set of speakers, and a standalone Blu Ray player. It'll cost more, but you'll get a better feature set, better performance, and more flexbilty to add more devices down the road.

Burn DVD off digital cable box?

I tried searching this topic a number of ways so I apologize if this is repetitious, the ones I found just didn't seem to be relevant.
I was just wondering if I could burn a dvd on my mac from a digital cable box?
The box is a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300 (Time Warner) and I just noticed it has a USB connection on the front. If I played the recorded program in real time could the mac just burn as it's shown, or does it need to be a file that is download and burned? I would have no idea how to do this.
It's a local public access program so I don't think it would be pirating the show illegally.
Thanks!

I don't know how you could stream the signal from the cable box directly to the DVD. Take a look at products from Elgato, as they would enable what you want to do, and that may give you an idea what your options are. http://www.elgato.com
