Signal strength drop on HD locals on 110

[lazydogmot]

Hi, I was just checking the signal strength (SS)on my local NBC HD (KCRA 3 Sacramento, CA) and found that all my HD locals do this.

After going to menu/6/1/1, it takes 6 or 7 seconds to get the SS from 110 TP 18 of around 55 (not bad for up in the hills w/trees) but after 10 to 12 more seconds it changes to spot beam 18 and the SS drops down to 23 and stays there. Is this normal?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi again, I did several searches at this site and found no situation that was similar. Does anyone know if this is a normal thing to happen?

Thanks,
Tom

When checking signal the only thing you should worry about is the tp ....

What are you signal strength on 110 tp 14, 15, 16, 21 and 119, 14, 15, 16, 21

Hi cparker619, thank you for the information and your reply.

The TP SS on 110 is 41, 39, 42 and 43. On 119 it's 45, 52, 47 and 53. Would you tell me why you're asking?
