Help regarding signal strength please

[jampotjamie]

Hi just wondered if anyone knows why my signal strength on all freesat channels is 100% but sky channels I only get 78% max.

Thanks in advance jampot

Some transponders are weaker than other causing the signal strengths to vary. As long as you can view the channels then theres no issues. If you find channels break up slightly then you could tweak the dish a little bit but it doesnt seem an issue as i have similar signal strengths.

Also depending on the box you use can show different signal strengths as some tuners are stronger than others.

All Freesat Channels apart from the BBC's are on Astra's New satellite 2F which is very powerful at the moment compared to the Old Astra's 2A,1N which will shortly be replaced in the nest 3-4 weeks with 2E so if $ly go to plan and transfer there existing channels from 2A and 1N then signal levels should be up right across the board
