The SNR shows only 99% when previous versions showed 100%.

The image has no control over what SNR values are shown and to be honest there not a true representation of your signal strength or quality any way at best they are there to be used as a guide and not as a replacement for a proper meter.

OK, it was the updated VU+ drivers in the latest VIX package that caused the SNR to change. I switched to the previous VU+ drivers (20130207) and it show 100%. I agree with your latter comments, I only use the SNR as a guide.

not entirely correct, they are calculated to be as near as possible with a formula inside e2 and drivers, these are not 100% accurate and only a guide.

I have the same issue in Uno with the latest update - how did you downgrade the drivers?

The display of SNR isn't really an issue is it? It's only cosmetic.

It is for me :) I just know that something isn't quite perfect so that needs fixing.... :)

But using old drivers surely is not a fix??

Well, no.... Unless the bug is reported to Vu+ and they fix it in the future release...

By the way, what happened to pseudo-calculated SNR readout in dB? Was there in 557 but now it's back to displaying percentages only, just like in older releases.

Will be OK again in due time. This is caused by the changed tuner names the latest drivers provide.

This has been fixed in the actual build 673.
