  • 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.


    Vu+ Solo, VIX 1.2 with CCcam2.2.1 - 1.2 Mtr Fibo gregorian, (53E - 58W). A couple of DM800's and a DM500 on a fixed 60cm dish

  • 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

  • I get 78% on 90cm dish im in the nwest, but when its cloudy n pishes down i get picture break up

  • 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.
