Incorrect signal strength indicator

[Retrofan]

Hello, when using DVBViewer Pro and/or DVBViewer Media Server with AVM Fritz!Box 6690 Cable (and others) the signal strength isn't displayed correctly. It shows 53% for example, but actually the signal strength is around 80-90%. When using M3U files (TS stream) the signal strength is shown as 100% which is also no problem at all.

How do you know? The Sat>IP specifications state that the signal level should be reported by the server as a numerical value between 0 and 255. DVBViewer maps it to a 0..100% scale by dividing it by 255 and multiplying it by 100.

Okay, I see. I meant, I expected a much higher value. This is based on the diagnostic tool build inside the Fritz!Box for DVB-C signals. It ended up in a signal strength between 2 and 5 dBmV.

Sat>IP specifications:

Signal level: Numerical value between 0 and 255. An incoming L-band satellite signal of  
-25dBm corresponds to 224
-65dBm corresponds to 32
No signal corresponds to 0 

 

That's all. No special indication for DVB-C.
