    Hello, yesterday I bought a new converter and the signal strength and quality are the same as on the old one ... It must be the fault of the plate setting ... Do you have any home method how to set the plate yourself, how to spin Up down right left? ... Thanks for the answers ... :)

    If it is a plate of polysat, 50-66% of the quality are typical values and you will not get more.

    The previous statements show that the user does not have enough knowledge and skills to solve the problem on his own.
    Correctly positioned 70 cm antenna ensures signal quality above 70% on TVN HD.
    To avoid additional unnecessary costs, it is best to call someone who has knowledge and experience in adjusting antenna sets.

    70% on which decoder? None of the HD 5 ... 6 .... series has such indications. You're talking about EVO?
    @ scenicman22 what's your decoder?

    @netTv check for yourself. There is no such value of 70% because the quality is scaled every 1 dB, i.e. 50-66-83-100. 50-66% are typical values. Sometimes a good converter is hit and goes to get 83 on single channels.

    So turning the antenna will do nothing?

    If you have a Polish 70, you will not get more than 83% and it is rare. Which converter did you buy?

    A converter for PLN 50 from Poland, yesterday I do not know the name of the red package, but yesterday, when I shot, I got a maximum of 66% and it disappeared for a moment and then it disappeared to 50 ... The converter is set to the maximum, maybe it's a wrong plate setting now ... the plate is already 4 years old ...

    If you want to be 100%, get 80 of a good company or bigger.

    The most important thing is MER. What is your MER on the TVN HD channel?
    The measurement method is shown at https://youtu.be/CWuRGXpqzH8
    It is also important to know what weather conditions prevail when reading the signal parameters: sunny, raining, cloudy, etc.

    Mer I have 12 db

    And how it rains and the sun shines 12 db

    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.

    14 dB on TVN unrealistic.

    EVObox test? And Inverto in addition. Write from your experience. How many times on HD 7000 did you have 14dB on TVN?

    The link contained the MER measurement results made with an external meter. Evobox PVR does not measure MER.
    Due to the fact that the measurement concerned an antenna set with a 70 cm antenna, it is a reference, if you want, you can.
    As for me, EOT. I will not argue further. This is not the place and this is not the subject.

    Only that the topic is about the HD7000 indications and not the neon or Evobox meter.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around optimizing the signal strength and quality of a Polsat satellite dish setup. The user reports that after replacing their converter, the signal remains unchanged, suggesting a potential issue with the dish alignment. Responses indicate that typical signal quality for a Polsat dish ranges from 50-66%, and achieving higher quality may require a larger dish or professional assistance for proper alignment. The importance of the MER (Modulation Error Ratio) is highlighted, with suggestions to measure it under varying weather conditions. Users debate the capabilities of different decoders, particularly the HD 7000 PVR, and the limitations of the current setup. Ultimately, the user decides to maintain their current configuration for now but considers upgrading to a larger dish in the future.
