My elderly father is having issues with his new Sky Box.  Sounds like pixelation and possible rain fade.

 

I just had a look in the Diagnostic section and under Signal and Tuner Status I can see a Signal Quality of 8.2dB and a small blue line.

 

The old boxes had Quality and Strength as a percentage.  Can anyone tell me what a good dB should be for Signal Quality on the new Sky Box? 

 

Thanks

I have 13.4 dB through a splitter.





Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Roughly between 13 and 14.5 DB. His dish is either out of alignment or his lnb is faulty.

I have about 14db signal level on my box, although it does vary between about 13.8 to 14.4db as I watch.

It is a communal dish and I am unaware of how many users. I am located in a nursing home
