signal strength & quality

Hi All

I tried searching for an answer but couldn't find the info I need.

Can someone please explain the difference between signal strength & quality.

I have a Digisat III meter and i had it connected to my old small sky dish just to have a practice with it and was moving the dish around holding it up with my hand I could get a reading of 74 on the meter.

It was pointing at no where near 28.2 so what was my meter reading, strength or quality.

Can you have a high strength reading but still have poor quality?

Thanks

p.s http://www.wizardsatellite.co.uk/ind...roducts_id=289 is my meter

My System: Dream7020 and lots of junk all over the place

There are so many sat´s up there so U can always have a reading

I tried my self with a cheap / no good / sat meter

and quality, what´s that ? When U have a good signal, the pic is good and no freezing, that´s good quality.

Test to turn the LNB some 45 degrees, see if it makes any change.

Never trust the satmeters(if they come cheap)

It is the pic on the tellie that counts
