Signal Strength

Shows you up to three signal strength bars for Satellite Networks A, B, and C, in order to help you adjust the dish to the correct position with the elevation, azimuth, and tilt values obtained from the Your Location menu. While the maximum signal strength is 100, there will be no apparent difference in picture quality between signal strengths of 60 to 85. The higher the signal, the less likely you are to experience degradation when it rains or snows.
