The digital tune monitor (DTM) was designed to measure bunch-by-bunch tunes in the Tevatron collider. It uses a standard BPM as a pickup. The vertical proton monitor is installed and allows us to gain valuable operational experience. A major upgrade is underway to implement an automatic bunch-by-bunch gain and offset adjustment to maintain the highest possible sensitivity under real operational conditions. Once the system is shown to be able to cope with orbit changes and different bunch intensities in an automatic manner while reliably delivering data it will be expanded to measure horizontal proton as well as antiproton tunes. The motivation and the technical description of the DTM as well as the latest experimental results are presented. Major challenges from the design and operation point of view are discussed.
