WatchHDTV 1.96 - 9000%?

[Xenomorph]

With the 1.x versions of WatchHDTV (I haven't watched anything on 2.0 yet), it would show signal strength between something like -9000% and 9000%.

Is that really the range local stations would use?

This kind of question belongs in the other forum. It's ok though because of your understanding of your question. The signal strengths reported back from the tuners aren't all the same. So the tuners may report back different values that don't necessarily make sense. It has nothing to do with the stations. One would hope that the values can be easily calculated to a percentage value, but as you see -9000 to 9000 doesn't exactly make the most sense. So all you're seeing is a range of values that the tuner supplies, that would need to be converted to a 0-100% range, but most all tuners report different values.

For Vista, I noticed with the FusionHDTV 2 and ATI HDTV Wonder that they both supplied similar values, but I have no idea what values other tuners will supply.

Same question. Figured I'd ask it here instead of opening a new thread.

I have an ATI HDTV Wonder which I transferred from an older Sempron 3200+/1GB DDR 400/GeForce 6200TC to a Pentium DC E2140/4GB DDR2 800/Radeon HD3450 build. It was displaying signal normally (0-100%) on the old PC. Now, they're in the -1000% to 25000% range. Using the same drivers as those in the old PC (install CD). Using Catalyst 8.2 for HD3450, I believe.

Just thought it was really weird...
