[QUOTE="archive10, post: 903130"] Just looking at the reading of various STBs I have, and the TBS 5922 connected to my PC. The user interfaces generally describes the incoming signal in terms of "strength" and "quality". And it gives the readings in percent. Not dBuV or MER or anything absolute (as on a meter); no it's percent. ...of what? Some arbitrary level? The max the receiver can handle? Of the max-min range of the tuner input after AGC has been applied? I am guessing that last part, in which case it says almost nothing about actual signal strength (i.e. not very useful), and quality - what's that? Can someone with a datasheet or driver knowledge explain what these terms mean, and how they can be used for proper comparison of reception...? (If at all?) [/QUOTE]
