Your Headend Satellite Receiver actively monitors and updates the strength and quality characteristics of the incoming signal as it is decoded, and displays this information dynamically using two (2) bar graphs. The Signal Strength (displayed on a scale from 0 through 99) is associated with the Symbol Rate and signal input level. The Signal Quality (displayed on a scale from 0 through 9) is associated with the Bit Error Rate, and is a measure of how much of the original signal information is being received.

Certain receiver settings can cause signal loss or degradation which can compro- mise video or audio information, or data. The effect of any changes you make to your satellite LNB antenna installation is immediately displayed on the bar graphs. Signal Strength and Signal Quality can also be affected by changes at the signal source, and/or by adverse environmental or terrestrial conditions. Taken in com- bination, certain receiver settings and signal conditions can cause the Signal Strength and Signal Quality (values) to increase or decrease accordingly.

Temporary, solar-related electromagnetic disturbances occur every year during the spring and autumn months. These disturbances usually persist for several minutes a day for approximately one week during these periods. Your service provider will advise you about channels that may be adversely affected. For troubleshooting information, see “Appendix B Troubleshooting”.

To verify your satellite LNB antenna installation or improve signal reception, refer to your antenna equipment installation manual, or contact your dealer or service provider.
