[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 1020095, member: 402329"] Hi all, So, for the past year I've been using an Openbox V8S with my 80cm motorised system. Since it was in use every day, I got used to its signal readings on channels - for example the SVT HD channels on 1w would peak at a solid 70% and the TRT HD channels at 42E would peak at 78%. The box started crashing a lot since last week, even after rebooting and changing power supply so I'm now using my back up Vu+ Zero receiver as the main one. For the part, its been working fine so far - motor moves to where it should but I've noticed the signal quality readings are quite different compared to the Openbox. The SVT HD channels at 1w are now fluctuating between 63-67% for example yet the TRT HD channels at 42E are moving between 91-94%. This is using the exact same latitude/longitude settings on both boxes. I also did a 'Go to 0' when I swapped over boxes, just to ensure accuracy. So my question is really, is the SNR recorded an accurate reading? I'd ideally like to get SVT back to a peak of 70% which it was on the Openbox but at the same time wondering if its really worth attempting if there's not much in it. [/QUOTE]
