DVB-C/T/T2 tuner SNR readings on Cable

[Ashley69]

How accurate are the SNR AGC readings on these enigma boxes. (Both running latest Vix)

My readings on Cable are

SNR 55% -AGC 0% - BER 0% on my New ET8000.

If I plug my VU + Duo 2 in to the same cable I get a readings of SNR 98% - AGC 99% - AND BER 0%

I had no other cable connections at the time I carried this out.

Can anyone enlighten me on whether there could be a problem with the ET8000 tuner.

The picture quality on the VU+ Duo2 is better than the ET8000.

Thanks

There is no problem. Different brands and different tuners give different SNR values.

Thanks Huevos.

Not yet fully up to speed with tuners and their differences. Will have a read up.

I have been having issues with the same readings on a Mutant HD2400. Sometimes the picture is fine and sometimes I get picture break up. Not a lot but enough for it to be annoying.

Have tried attenuators, different cables. I didn't know whether it was the signal coming into the house as when we do a BB speed check we are getting below 4mbps. Awful for VM.

The readings are a noncence on all receivers imo, only way to check signals is using engineers meter.
