Can someone tell me what signal strength they get for Viasat Xtra PL on 4.8e?
I get good signal on all major sats, but only 78% with BRE's for this.
Maybe dish is too small?

It depends alot, I think, on your receiver. I have my motor connected to my DM800 and get only 52% with ber's but I get perfect freeze or glitch free reception in all weathers. Mind you, I don't think you can rely on the 800's signal strength reading much.
I'm in the West Mids with an 80cm dish btw.
WOW! I'd have thought that reading would be wrong, as surely you can't get a signal lock at 52%?
On my box I only ever get a signal lock at around 75%-80%.
I do get it glitch free for the majority of the time, but when it's really overcast and lashing down I dont get a lock.
I was wondering if a different LNB might help, but if noone gets great signal then I imagine not.
I've got 90cm in North West UK
Yea, I'm sure they're wrong.
According to the footprint we're right outside the beam (unless it's an old map)
I guess we're really lucky to get it at all then.
i get 32 % signal no problems except if it rains heavy then signal disappears.
Thats a 1m dish and a dm 800hd in northwest.
i am on a fibo 1.2 dish and only get 68 % ? i am in north west uk
I have a 1.2 M dish in N.Ireland and cant get this satellite, 25% signal.
I get 78% on 90cm dish im in the nwest, but when its cloudy n pishes down i get picture break up
Mutz
To be honnest % don't mean too much, 50% on one stb with picture against another stb that needs 70% to get picture so hard to compare. Same stb's can be compared but that isn't that accurate either.
Something like I need 58% for picture and on this sat I get 78% is easier to compare.

I'm not surprised, it's a wonder any of us get this bird at all..
