ok, on my VU+DUO over the weekend I had terrible problems with all my pay channels signal quality and strength (snr & agc), but especially the snr level, BUT, for some weird reason tonight everything is looking a heck of a lot better and I am totally lost for an answer to why or what happened, maybe someone else will know though if you care to comment please ? (p.s, there has been no windy weather, not even a breeze for days, so as I say, it defo has nothing to do with the dish, and the dish was only reset after the storms about a month ago too, done by a proffesional, also fitted brand new LNB too).
All my FTA channels were perfect and strong, but the pay channels were either not even strong enough to give any picture at all or if there was a picture it would freeze up every few seconds or a minute or so, but as I say, the FTA channels were all perfect and strong, even my seperate freesat tuner was perfect too, so it was defo nothing to do with the dish for a fact.
Anyway, as an example right now (tuesday morning 28th feb 2012) on the VU+DUO box I have choosen some channels at random and will tell you the snr (quality) and agc (strength) levels for each one and I would really really appreciate it if some other people in the uk with a perfectly fixed dish and a VU+DUO could also tell me thier snr & agc levels for these channels just as refrence please.
BBC one HD - SNR 93% - AGC 93%
ITV 1 HD - SNR 93% - AGC 93%
CHANNEL 4 HD - SNR 96% - AGC 93%
SKY SPORTS 1 HD - SNR 74% - AGC 95%
SKY MOVIES PREMIER HD - SNR 73% - AGC 86%
SKY MOVIES DRAMA HD - SNR 72% - AGC 86%
Would I be correct in saying those readings now are very very good or are they average ???
Thats why I would really appreciate if anyone in the uk with a VU+DUO could also tell me thier readings for those channels please, eh ??? Thank you so much if you can spare a few seconds to do this
Those readings of mines you can see that I have just given you were nothing like that at the weekend past, as I said, the pay channels most of the time were so bad that a picture wouldnt even appear on the screen, but the FTA channels didnt really have any problems at all, although even the FTA channels look a bit stronger and better quality signals now too.
I am clueless to what happened , and then all of a sudden everything is looking a heck of a lot better, hmmmm ?
Anyone with any comments then please post up, and even better still could some people give me thier readings for those channels just for reference purposes.
Thanks again.
p.s
at the weekend when there was a lot of problems the SNR on just about all pay channels was only reaching about 54%-60% and the AGC levels were lower than what they are now too, and as I said, picture freeze or no pictures at all.
