Hello guys,
I've been puzzled by this recently. Does the dish signal strength actually directly correlate with picture quality that you get?
Or is the dish signal strength just a matter of reliability of signal (say more stable during certain weather), but not the actual quality of picture?
I am getting signal strength of between 51 - 68 on my dish network system. I never received any pixelated images even when it was slightly raining (I have not tested it yet with heavy rain). However, sometimes when I watch certain programming, especially sports like hockey, the screen appears to be a little fuzzy or have grains on it or basically not sharp enough when the images are moving, not when the picture is steady focused on one player let's say. It is hard to see the puck moving around the ice sometimes even.
So is it because of my signal strength that I am getting from my dish, or does the signal strength not affect picture quality at all?
One guy I heard said that it does affect picture quality, another one I heard saying that nope..since it is digital signal you either get it or not (if it was something wrong wit it, you would get pixelation)...anyway please let me know your ideas.
thanks,
andy
