at least in driver for the frontend found on TBS 6980 Dual DVB-S2 card i added options "esno" and "dbm" respectively for reporting SNR (actually C/N) in EsNo dB and signal strength in dBm, which is at least real statistics about the signal and not like almost meaningless percents. so, that's one way to go. some DVB-S/S2 demodulators use EsNo dB and other EbNo dB and so maybe step toward some standardization is routines for conversion between those two. also, maybe there will be common agreement how to convert signal strength in dBm to percents and SNR (C/N) in EsNo or EbNo dB to percents. i believe that will guarantee more standard way to give information about the signal, but it's just my opinion.
