 Signal Quality readings on the D9865 receiver.

If have used a FTA receiver in the past you need to know the signal quality numbers are

exaggerated on these low cost devices. Most FTA receivers will lose signal lock around a

50-60 quality. The D9865 meter reads true quality numbers. The numbers you see

especially on the DVB S2 signals may seem low but aren't. When tuning your dish a

number of 7 or more should be obtained for solid lock under all conditions with DVB S2

signals.

Do not be alarmed if the number seems low to you this is NORMAL. The Cisco receiver will

work with a 3 for quality number. If you encounter such a low number though your either

tuning a very weak signal, have dish tracking or other issues, or your dish size is inadequate

for your location. Please rectify low quality number situation to ensure you're enjoying

Rainier's Pure HD signals to the fullest. Rainier Satellite offers many documents at our

SUPPORT page, and carries high quality replacement parts in our store to rectify most low

quality numbers issues. Please consult the documents before contacting Rainier tech

support.

Note: DVB S signals quality will normally read higher than DVB S2.
