[QUOTE="FRAZER, post: 14824, member: 175135"] I have been looking through some of the archived threads about the difference between signal strength and quality, and think I get the gist . But I'm still not 100% sure what the most likely reason is that on some satellites the signal quality I'm achieving is considerably lower than on others (and occasionally too low for a picture), whereas the signal strength is pretty consistent across the board. Is the root of this discrepency more likely to lie in my set up (or any partially obstructed view to certain satellites), or in the quality of the signal from source? Also, having now acquired an analogue receiver to pick up the French channels on 5 West, I'm assuming that the best way to connect my three receivers is by using a twin lnb, with one output connected to my Nokia controlling the motor, and the other to a priority switch connecting the analogue and the Sky digibox. If this is right, though, would a twin lnb further compromise the quality of the signal I'm getting? Thanks for any ideas, Frazer [/QUOTE]
