Note : While the maximum signal strength is 100, the typical signal strength will be in the
range from 60 to 85. There should be no obvious change in the picture or sound quality at
these levels. Should the signal fall below this range or fluctuate below this range, you may
experience video macroblocking or audio dropouts, so you should adjust your antenna or
dish, as needed. In general, the higher the signal, the less likely you are to experience
picture quality degredation during adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.
