    Signal Strength vs Signal Quality

    Your right that was a bad example of a conversion table for db--but it's possible to have a lookup table in the STB signal quality code graphic display page--all a guess on my part however. And not questioning your knowledge. You seemed to be barking up the wrong tree because the point I...

    The STB supplier calculates percent. it's a unit less quantity. and so is db. however you can convert db to percent all day. http://www.lightmachinery.com/percent-to-dB-conversion-calculator.php from the manufacturer data on the tuner: STR (Strength): Gives signal strength as a percentage...

    Reelbox Avantgarde I/II & III

    Posting some pictures for those who might be interested. It's a cool box; streaming video server from the tuners, shared hard drives, a lot of 3rd party tools support. As mentioned, I soldered an ATSC annex b clear QAM tuner, the (North America) version of a cable tuner to a Reel board. But...

    Reelbox Avantgarde I/II & III

    Brian, I like the Reelbox multi-tuner capability and with two DVB-2S tuners and a dual orthogonal feed x 2 lnb(s) connected, one H and one V bring down HD on C-band transponders. For cable, I asked them why not support the US standard, but that was not to be. I went as far as removing the...

    Reelbox Avantgarde I/II & III

    Hi group; I guess I'm the only person in the US to own and successfully use a Reelbox AVG, media center in the States. It was dubbed the DreamBox Killer but sadly, there was not much support on this side of the world. I'd like to share my tips and tricks with yours if possible. I've had mine...
