HDHomeRun Signal Meter

This isn't, at the moment, a signal meter as anyone thinks of a signal meter. It simply tunes in to each channel in the lineup for a little while and records the connection status periodically. Once all channels have been visited, it prints a report, and exits. I was motivated to write this because I was planning on moving my HDHomeRun to a different location and wanted a reasonable way to compare the signal strenght/quality. Also, I'm not exactly proficient in Go at the moment, so the quality of the code is highly suspect.

A few assumptions were made about the physical setup and conditions. If these assumptions prove untrue, then the tool won't work as expected. The ones I think that are most likely to be problems are:

  1. There is only one HDHomeRun on the network and it is discoverable
  2. There is only one tuner being actively used and it's used by the this tool

To run it yourself clone the repo into your GOPATH or just go get github.com/jfklingler/hdhr-signal-meter, then

cd $GOPATH/github.com/jfklingler/hdhr-signal-meter
make all
./hdhr-signal-meter

If you don't already have Go and dep installed and configured, you'll need to do that first.
