Signal GH is a tool for users of the HDHomerun networked digital TV tuner who want to monitor and improve their Over The Air (OTA) reception quality. It graphs signal quality from multiple channels simultaneously, allowing a user to more rapidly adjust and upgrade OTA receiving hardware, i.e., cables, connections, splitters, pre-amps, and antennas. Snapshot the state of your system using the Experiments tab to keep track of what worked and what didn't work. United States users also have the benefit of a map of digital television broadcasting towers. Depends on the accuracy of your device's compass. If you don't have an HDHomerun, you don't need this product. If you do have an HDHomerun, and use it for over the air reception, you will likely find it useful. If the automatic scan does not find a station you expect, tap on the station's real digital channel in the unused channel column under Settings. Signal GH does not support QAM (digital cable) Please make sure your HDHomerun is set to use a broadcasting channel set and not a cable channel set. You cannot use this software to watch video on your iOS device. This is a diagnostic tool.

Read full description

CoreBit is the mobile companion to the CoreBit network monitoring server. When something breaks in your network, you know about it — wherever you are. Built for network administrators and on-call engineers, the app gives you a fast, clear view of what is happening right now: which devices are up, which are down, what has gone wrong and who is handling it. INSTANT ALERTS • Push notifications for device outages, metric alarms and incidents • Severity levels, so critical problems break through Focus while routine notices stay quiet • Tap a notification to go straight to the incident or device • Alerts follow your on-call schedule and mute settings from CoreBit INCIDENTS • See active and acknowledged incidents at a glance • Acknowledge, change status, add a resolution note and assign incidents to yourself or a colleague • A clear summary of what happened, when it started and which devices are affected • A chart of the affected metric around the time of the incident • See who else is following an incident, so you know you are not alone DEVICES • Search and filter all your devices by status • Live vitals: CPU, memory and disk, with history charts for the last hours • Custom metrics with clear status values, active metric alarms and threshold markers • Recent activity and the full device log ON DUTY • See who is on duty right now • Mute alarms for yourself, a colleague or everyone for a set time (admins) • Mute a single device while you work on it AI ASSISTANT • Ask questions about your network in plain language, such as "Which devices are offline?" or "What happened to the core switch last night?" • Answers are based on your CoreBit server's live data (requires the AI assistant to be set up in CoreBit) MULTIPLE SERVERS • Connect to several CoreBit servers and switch between them in one tap • Notifications open on the right server automatically SECURE BY DESIGN • Pair by scanning a QR code from CoreBit — no passwords stored on the phone • Every phone must be approved by an administrator before it can see anything • All traffic is encrypted, and each phone gets its own access key that can be revoked at any time • The app connects directly to your own CoreBit server — no separate cloud account needed • Optional dedicated app port, so only the app's limited access needs to be reachable from outside REQUIREMENTS The app requires a CoreBit server (version with mobile app support). Your administrator creates an invite in CoreBit under Settings → Security → Mobile Apps. To learn more about CoreBit, visit corebit.network.
