17 Signal-strength display
Within the sub-menu "Extras" in the main menu you can select the
signal strength display.
The signal strength is then indicated as a vertical bar. The C/N value
will indicate the same value in dB. The higher the number, the better
the reception quality. In satellite mode, and depending on the channel,
a satisfactory TV picture should be received with any value above
approx. 8. In DVB-T (optional) mode, a C/N value above approx. 15 will
provide interference-free reception.
The three coloured fields next to the bar indicate the status of the
receiver stages. Only if all fields are green, will valid data be received
with the signal and a picture be shown on screen.
Use P+/P- to change the selected program in the background. Press
INFO to display an enlarged version of the C/N-value window.
Note:
Further to the setting of your reception system and your position
within the satellite's footprint, the signal strength also depends on the
currently selected channel. Please take this into account when
checking the aim of your antenna using the signal strength display. It is
normal that some channels are received with a strong signal while
others are rather weak.
