signal strength

[griff]

what signal strength sould my dreambox read ?
i dont know what they mean but on good strong channels it shows the agc on 99% and the snr on 45%
on bad channels it shows agc on 99% still but the snr is 22-25 %. is the snr go anything to do with it ?? i have an in line booster aswell.

hello mate,
your figures seem a bit strange to me,are you getting a picture?what sat/channel are you on.signal strength(agc) is usually high all the time on most channels you can recieve,its the quality(snr) that is the important one and on strong channels can be 85%+.I can still receive down to around 55% on my TM.the BER should be zero.I know nothing about boosters and to be honest have not heard of their use in satellite,why have you got it?

Hi Griff, it may just be that your dish is slightly off on the sat you`re on. Try slightly adjusting the dish or slightly loosen the lnb in the feed horn and turning the lnb to adjust the skew. Some channels can be weaker than others and this can sometimes be down to the sat you`re on and the size of the dish you are trying to get it on.

This is clone ?

as long as all channels are working ok no freezing or pixilation you should be ok
if not do as pat mentioned
on one of my dm800 on a static dish the snr goes between 25-60% but still works

thanks all i have a mtr motorized dish and yeah some times it has a little pixilation and i cant pick channels up properly so i tried a booster which helped a lot on hd channels.
the agc is 99%
i seem to get little or probs on the sly movie channels ?
will try to adjust the dish a little. bit new to this ha
it is not a clone deff
