I have both a home receiver and another in my RV. I only get about 50% on both the antennas. I understand that the new software makes the signal weaker and that 50% is a strong signal.
By the way, this is the 4th antenna I've had. I'm going to call myself an expert on the subject. also I've owned a TV repair shop for many years. The mail advantage with this auto seek antenna is that you can receive a signal from both satellites, the 119 and 110. It only uses one LMB to receive both by slewing from one to the other. After arriving I switch on the dish and within a minute I have TV.
