The easiest way to explain is on a Motorola unit the ebno # would be kinda like the "quality" meter on a DVB setup
On most units its options 6-0-5 then right arrow to diagnostic C...see attached picture below
The higher the ebno, the less amount of rain fade you have. In most cases these are the "guidelines"
+3.5 to have a signal
+3.5 to +5.0 to keep a stable picture...rain fade very possible
+5.0 to +6.0 nice solid picture but rain fade is possible
+6.0 to +8.0 strong signal
+8.0 to +10.0 really strong picture
+10.0 and above....highly unlikely the signal would ever go out
Now I'm using the KU side of that with Starchoice. On my Primestar dish I have +10.0 and above on all Starchoice channels so I need a very bad rainfall or super duper heavy clouds to have the signal go out..
C-Band would be different. The HBO mux at 7/8 FEC would need alot higher ebno than the regular 3/4 FEC stuff that is on most 4DTV channels

+10.0 and above....highly unlikely the signal would ever go out
Ok... that is the reading on the 3rd row, far right? I am watching Bloomberg, +3.9.
That looks a little low. The pic I provided was on a 4 foot dish with the conical ring
yes that would be correct

On the ZK issue, is that on one of the Diagnostics screens, or is that one of the slang for "Channel in the clear"?
that would be under the signal status that lists items like the serial number of the digital ID, the transponder info, polarity etc
options 6-3 rings a bell....my Starchoice units are different in the menus but it says what the channel is
ZK-zero key
S-subscribed
"FP" -fixed (free) preview.
"ZK" -zero key.
"S" -Subscribed
"US" -Unsubscribed
Usually FP and ZK channels are viewable on any receiver that is or has been subbed to something.
I think 4848 is the total number of DCII channels on all satellites whether or not you can sub to them.Hmmm, my Trip Counter is 94.... and Channels is 4948.
Sure wish I can get 4948 channels. LOL
Program in "CG" at the same spot as G5. Channel up & down around 285.....Guys, what is the latest on the genetic satellites? All I am on is GB.
