[QUOTE="archive10, post: 897697"] I meant comparing a meter (or a box that has absolute read-outs as your dm8K evidently has) with something that just states a percentage with AGC in full swing, and a "quality" measure that could mean anything... The thing is, that fiddling with skew and aligment with a very coarse-grained means of measuring does not ensure optimal reception. If I can gain 1.5 dB in signal quality by using a good (not necessarily a ProMax level, but just a real meter, e.g. something costing EUR 200-250), then general reception and rain-fade resistance, and derived overall satisfaction can be improved using the existing reception equipment. Probably, it also means that you should either beg, borrow or steal a meter for the final 10%, or get an installer to validate your installation (if you're not a driven enthusiast) to ensure optimal performance...
