[QUOTE="Clem_Dye, post: 538922, member: 291053"] I think that you have to take the strength and quality readings that you see on the info data on any receiver with a 'pinch of salt', as they say. Any reading done in software will not be as accurate as that obtained from a meter. My Passion box shows some variability across the polarities and frequencies, but I've yet to see any issues. On average, I see a ~70% signal strength and a ~90% signal quality, with the box connected either directly to my 85cm dish or to my 60cm dish system, which feeds satellite around the house. Some variability in levels will be down to where in the country you happen to be located for example. If you check-out the SatAid website (you'll need to register), you'll find dedicated FortecStar forums - you should find some help there. See _www.sataid.net/forum Clem [/QUOTE]
