A thunderstorm comes up. Measuring the strength and SNR is not so easy now. My SAT receiver always says strength 70% and SNR 80%. My new Nova S Plus cards always report strength 97% and SNR 99%. Only my TT 1500s reported reasonable numbers like strength 63-80% and SNR 75-90%. In the end, I think overall strength and SNR is not my problem. I always get a lock. It's the glitches that happen every now and then. > After that, on normal mpeg2 DVB-S all applications should still do > fairly well, but if you go out for x264 HDTV, it is another and > completely different additional story, especially for what I see on > x86-64 quad CPUs. I am not recording x264 at the moment, meaning I have no DVB-S2 card. Thanks for the informations.
