Snr motorised dish expected values

[joysleep1]

Hi peeps

A few months ago I had a thread going that about the Snr levels on some of the channels I was getting and how they should be higher than what I'm getting now.

My installer has agreed to come back Saturday to basically calibrate the dish but wanted feedback on what expected values.
I'm sharing a few channels below of what I get. This was all taken this morning in excellent weather conditions.

Is it expected that a fixed dish on 28.2 astra will always have better signal quality than a motorised dish facing sane direction?

I have a one metre dish based in south west London.
If you can please share your quality on the same channels and indicate whether I should be getting higher or if some of my values are to be expected?

Hope I've explained that well

Please only reply if your using a Viark in London with a 1 meter dish.

Other wise anything else posted is worthless information.

@joysleep1 maybe you should go back and read your last thread on this ?

On nova sport 1 hd and Prima sport 1 on my gigbablue quad 4k pro i'm getting 67% this receiver reads about 10% lower than other channels so i guess the signal really is around 74-74%. I'm way further north that you too.

I'm getting 70 on prima sport 1

Yh I did but wanted some new input on a few more channels and what should be expecting so I can confirm my installer has done everything correctly.

I take it that you don't really get anything more than 80 percent quality on any of the channels is there?

Thanks so much for that information.
Ok so i am going to maybe use this as a benchmark to try achieve unless anyone thinks these values are not viable for my area

So is it safe to say getting anywhere near high 80s or 90 is impossible regardless of what size dish you have

You are in sw london, kilburn is nw London readings will still be similar to your location.

The viark tuner readings are way out compared to other stb's.
My old TM5402 shows 98% on bbc on Fixed sky dish.

 

[manic01]

These are my sky small fixed dish reading on viark next to your 1 mtr dish readings
My small sky dish is out performing your 1 mtr dish
