Probably a person with more skills can set the MER on this set at the level of 14 dB. As someone has already written, it is worth investing in an 80 cm antenna before winter, but only on condition that the adjustment of the antenna and converter settings is made by a person with knowledge and skills in this type of installations. Otherwise, the exchange does not make sense, because increasing the signal strength alone will not solve the problem of signal loss in light rain or snowfall.
By the way, info for others:
In the newer models of CP Evobox HD and Lite set-top boxes, the signal meter scaling is more accurate and allows you to accurately align the antenna without a professional meter.
