Poor Signal Strength/ Ok Quality - DVB-S

[ReFuGeE]

Hi Guys

I'm having a very ODD issue with my Technisat Skystar-2 PCI Card.

I have several dishes pointing to 4 satellites but when I run a cable from my card to switch I get anywhere from 65-80 quality and 25-40 signal strength.

I've tried various troubleshooting steps from swapping diseqc switches, connecting straight to lnb via female->female barrel connection, an sw-21 switch, different lnb's, swapping cables with a brand new rg6. I even took an STB and connected it to the same cable and can get 89 signal strength/90 quality.

The only other thing I can think is that there is an issue with the pci card or its something environmental.

Could something be messing up the signal in the room? speakers? Subwoofer perhaps?

Btw, I have tried drivers 4.41 and also 4.40

You didn''t say this Technisat card had ever shown stronger signals before, so I have to assume this is how it's always acted.

Not all cards (nor FTA boxes) read the same for signal levels.
But, if you have a good quality reading, and a good picture, you're done.

Thanks for the reply.
