Maybe this has been mentioned.
The cable box at the TV location will reveal the signal strength in the setup menu. Why spend 1K to 4K on a meter when the box itself will tell you the signal strength?
I would
love to know how to get into those menus on all cable boxes. I have run into many cable boxes where I could not figure out which combination of button pushes would reveal the setup menu.

Don't know if this will help anyone at all but... I have a Motorola cable modem and if I browse to 192.168.100.1 and go to the signal tab, it tells me the quam signal level for all 4 channels. Mine run about 37 db signal to noise and about 0 bdmv power level on all 4 channels. Good luck.
"all 4 channels"? Hmmm. Cable channels, only four? Don't think so. But cable modem... so, internet? All four... signal level of four wifi channels? I'm reaching here, because that doesn't make sense, either.
0 dbmv is what we've been talking about here, so that makes sense. It's amazing that this signal would actually be right there. The way cable guys throw splitters around, I'd think signal would come in about 10 dB hot because they know someone will split it later. Yes, even when all boxes are digital.
