    Astra 2a signal strengh 11798.00 H 29500 3/4

    Hi firstly sorry if this is the wrong section,Iam running my offical sly uk card through my Vu+ i noticed that iam only getting an snr of 61% and agc of 89% on slysports hd1, channel 4 hd etc this appears to be very low and iam guesing it does not leave a great deal for rain fade etc.I have a triax 1.1 dish and an inverto lnb,I notice that all the other sly sports hd channels have a far stronger signal.Is this normal for Astra 2a or are they having problems thanks

    truthfully i would not worry about it, no receiver exists that can give a true representation of the signal strength, at best they give a rough guide. as long as you can watch the channel you should be fine.
    My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.

    If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.

    SIMPLES.

    I use the triax 1.1 with the tm2600 motor and inverto black ultra lnb it works very well i would recommend that if your on a budget,i think it cost me £200 for everything inc install.
