Please can I ask what the BER means.

.... Bit Error Rate

Thanks ccs.
So what are the ideal levels for SNR, AGC and BER ?

I have an SNR of 99% AGC 97% BER -393

So, SNR and AGC should be as high as possible.
BER should be as low as possible, like 0. It can be higher, if your other values are higher.

A lot will depend on how accurate the figures are that your box is reporting.
