The lack of a signal indicator in TV sets seems to be epidemic. However, I didn't think about the add-on boxes. All satellite receivers have signal indicators allegedly for dish alignment (which is useless because of the long response time). CATV converters have on screen signal level indications. A few boxes have more detailed diagnostics.
ATSC converter boxes require some manner of signal quality indicator:
See: Section 4.7 Consumer Interface Received Signal Quality Indicator I read it to indicate that while a detailed signal quality indicator would be nice, a really crude like a "good/bad" indicator will suffice.
Section 4.2 and 4.5 cover multipath tests and issues.
It kinda makes sense to have the signal level and quality indicator in the receiver (downconverter) section. However, why the same feature is absent in OTA DTV's seems rather odd.
