Explanation of System Info (Menu-->6-->1-->6)

What do the two numbers in the "b" box represent?

Also, when I select "Details", I receive information about 110, 119, & 129 even though I have a 1k.4 pointed at eastern arc. Specifically it reads:

Value: 8:1
Value: 9:0

If the first set of number is referring to signal strength, I'm not surprised since I'm not pointed that way anymore. Again, I'm pointed at 61.5, 72,7, & 77.

I've power cord rebooted and this info doesn't change.

Why does the system info "details" still think I'm looking at eastern arc, while the initial system info screen clearly lists 61.5, 72,7, & 77 and says "good" signal. Or am I just misinterpreting this screen?

You mean Western Arc? Not sure can't check mine right now as I'm recording something.

The system info "software" does not have the 1K4, it is unaware the eastern arc is there, that is why it still thinks you have the 1k2.

Yes, I meant to say the software is looking for western arc (110/119/129), while I have eastern arc (61.5/72.7/77).

That's what I figured. Thanks.

Now, any idea about my first question, what do the two numbers in the box labeled "b" represent?

The DISH receivers ALL need updating to include the possibility of eastern arc sats in your configuration as well as changing the signal meters to show 0 - 100 instead of 125. Because 50 is now acceptable for no rain fade instead of the old scale of 90- 125. They could also delete the superdish configurations and add the elevation levels for single dishes pointed at 72.7,77,129. This would be nice for those who add on a single dish for one sat or for those who want 3 dishes pointed at the eastern or western arc sats.

FWIR, The "B" box shows the numbers of times each tuner has lost signal lock. It should tell you in the details that "tuner 1 has lost lock x times in a certain time period" if you've had a problem.
