All STB receivers will have various quality tuners and you will only know which are best by a) asking and b) buying different ones. Technomate tm5402 have a brilliant tuner, spiderbox 9000 was very good, there was a humax years ago that was very good and used in central europe. I use a SOLO2 now and a tiviar, and and ET1000, very good. I have a zgemma h2s for wooshbuild but don't use it a lot, wont drive dish. I have alsat dark motor with a triax 1.1m dish BUT the importnat bit is the LNB and the best is the black ultra plus best quality sat cable. Most important of all is the set up everything has to be plumb straight, pole dish, motor. Imagine its a gun, when you point dish due south it should be dead straight, if it is then when you aim at satellite its dead on, 1 degree out on earth is 68 miles out in space.
I dont know wHere you are but say what image you have in box and are you using USALS. Then I can tell you how to tweak dish from your armchair. Say roughly where you are. I'm in west of ireland. On 0.8west Al jezzera english I get 100% signal and 9i% AGC but these can be image dependent but looks good. Using a solo2 and the black ultra.
PS I am using a openbh image.
