Signal Status - DStv HD PVR Viewer's Manual

IGNAL TATUS
Information on the status of the 4 tuners. The information displayed is dependent on the current activity
of the decoder.
Why do tuner 2 and tuner 3 often not show signal strength?
The tuner signal strength is not exact and differs from unit to unit. It also
depends on the dish, LNB, length & type of cables, connectors, etc. As long as
your signal quality is over 70%, the decoder should work correctly.
In addition, different tuners show different signal strengths, as they are usually
tuned to different channels and the signal strength differs from transponder to
transponder (a transponder carries channels and MultiChoice uses more than
10 of them). So, depending on what channel the tuner is tuned, the signal
strength could also be different.
When not in use (ie. there are no recordings in progress) tuners 2 + 3 show no
signal.
If you want to test tuner 2 and tuner 3, get two recordings going.
We also suggest you check the signal strength by tuning to M-Net, Animal
Planet, KYKNet and M-Net HD. If the signal strength is fine on these channels,
the decoder should work correctly.
