Xmradio uses the GETSTATUS ioctl to detect the signal strength. Unfortunately, the tuner chip has only 3 bits for that, so all you get is a value between 0 and 7 and it looks, as if it is even worse. You can't really depend on the reported values, but it's better then nothing. Funny thing is, that the windows radio shows values between 0 and 255, cheating a little bit ;) (With a Hauppauge WinTV/radio) > If anyone is interested in working with it, let me know and I'll mail you a > snapshot.
