    Motorboating

    Signal Strength vs. Signal Quality

    I fully understand that it is the quality, not the quantity, of signal strength is what is important (kinda like size doesn't matter!:eek: :D ) But what I do not understand is how on earth I can get a signal level of 94 but my bit error be so friggin, low enough to NOT produce a picture?
