Using the King SL1000 TV Signal Strength Meter in a RV.

This is a basic walk-through for the SL1000. You can use it two ways; as a diagnostic tool, and as a permanently wired antenna alignment tool.

Thanks a lot buddy for your informative video. I truly appreciate anyone who makes an effort to share his/her knowledge with the OTA TV antenna community. Cheers!

[@RVProject]

Glad the video helped.

[@angleradam1011]

Thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I needed to sort out the signal loss and bad amplifier inside my house.

[@RVProject]

Glad it helped

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

thanks for the tip.

[@Matt-tt2br]

Same as sinalagnifier? +. Tune capability?

[@autryld]

I'd like to use this at home, not in an RV. Is there a brand/model with which I can test specific channels?

[@RVProject]

I am sure there is, but it might be a bit expensive as it would be a service grade instrument. I have not researched products in this area.

[@autryld]

@@RVProject I was able to use the HDHomeRun status webpage to measure the signal strength. Obviously it helps to have a SiliconDust tuner.

It has been two years since you made this video, but if you are still monitoring for questions, I have one (or two). What channel frequencies is the signal meter looking at? Does it include both VHF and UHF channels? And have you run across a better meter since you made this video in 2014? Thanks. Nice video by the way, steady camera and good audio.

[@RVProject]

It is not channel specific. It just looks at wideband signals, so you don't know one channel's signal strength from the other.
Since I did this video, I installed a new TV in the bedroom where the antenna control is. This TV has a signal strength meter built-in for each channel. So if I want the strongest signal for a particular channel, I can watch that channel's signal strength meter as I rotate the antenna.
Unfortunately, most TVs do not have a signal strength meter, and I was lucky to find one that did. It is an Insignia 19" TV. amzn.to/1XdNLOo

[@bjl1000]

RVProject which makes it useless.

[@autryld]

@@RVProject This appears to be useful only for RVs (which fits the title of the video). It's more like a town finder. I would like a version that you can tune to a channel and aim your antenna with it.

Thanks for watching.

UHF sinal de TV digital frequência 50-950 MHZ?

[@RVProject]

They fall within the UHF frequency band.

[@mikedoe6585]

Thank you for your work making this video. But I do not think I learned anything here. Most TV 's have signal meters on them.

[@autryld]

It's very difficult to view those TVs that have signal meters when you're on the roof aiming your antenna.

[@RVProject]

I have not seen a lot of modern TVs with signal level meters. The only ones I have seen that do are the Insignia line, and then it varies by model.

[@mdjafarsadiqsadiq8273]

How much cost

[@autryld]

He said at the end - $30. That was 5 years ago, though.

[@RVProject]

As of Spring 2021, still less than $30: amzn.to/3g27rpa
Depends of course on where you live.

Get rid of the stupidly loud music I can not hear what is being said , WHY

[@RVProject]

I don't have background music in my videos.

[@Laura_0708]

There isn’t any music!

Actually it's been my experience that most TVs do not have a signal strength meter built in.
Of the three TVs I have in my RV (gosh, 3 TVs), the two that came from the factory do not have such a meter.
Only the aftermarket Insignia TV I installed in the bedroom after purchasing the RV has a signal strength meter. Even then, I had to look at many different models of TVs to find one with this feature.

[@mikedoe6585]

@@RVProject Thanks for replying back. TV brands & models probably differ in your region compared to mine. My LG TV has a signal meter.

[@RVProject]

It's a nice feature to have... too bad more TVs don't have them built in.

[@robertogalvez3865]

Can you take your TV up on the roof to get a direct reading from your antenna?

[@mikedoe6585]

@@robertogalvez3865 I agree with you. A Large TV could be difficult.
