SNR level comparison

[MrFug]

Hey,

Just thought I'd do some level recording of my 1.1m dish. I'm curious to see what others are getting on the same channels. If some could check 1 or 2 channels are post their signal levels, I'd be grateful.

Here are mine:
(Rather than use the strongest TP, I just used the channels I'm most likely to watch)

TurkSat 42e SporMAX Snr: 11db 68%
HellasSat 39e Nova Sport Snr: 9.5 59%
Astra 28.2 BBC ONE HD Snr: 13.5db 84%
Badr 26e MTV Snr: 12.5db 78% (330 channels found after full scan - possibly pulled from 28)
Astra 23.5 Nova Sport HD Snr: 13.0db 81% (Strangely, Tune fails on all Kabel Deutschland with latest sat.xml)
Astra 19.2 Sky Sports 1 Ger Snr: 14.5db 90% (16.5db 100% on Canal+ Deportes)
EutelSat 16e Tring Super Snr: 14.5db 90% (missed by USALS, had to weak positioner to find)
Hotbird 13e Sky Sports 1 Italia Snr: 13db 81%
EutelSat 10e BFBS 1 Snr: 11.5db 71%
Eurobird9A 9e HD Sport Snr: 12db 75%
EutelSatW3A 7e EPL Snr: 10.5db 65% (again, had to tweak with positioner)
Astra4A 4.8e Free-X TV Snr: 14.0db 87%

Thor 0.8w Discovery HD Snr: 18.0db 100% (Canal Sport HD - 12db 75% and only 8db 50% on Sport 1)
AtlanticBird5 5w Orange Sport HD Snr: 14.5db 90%
Nilesat 7w Any Channel Snr: 0db 0%
Hispasat 30w Sport TV HD Snr: 15.5db 96%

i seriously would not worry about it. no receiver made will give you a true representation of SNR, at best use it as a rough guide.

[MrFug]

Yes, all i'm after is a rough guide.

[Fano]

Most receivers give different snr readings.
My Dm500 or 600 wont lock any signal below 70% whereas my Dm800 works on a snr of 30% and most transponders are less that 70% snr.

well mine are roughly the same as urs mrfug so id say urs is fine buddy
