It's all about the Software

I should have thought, even that is not so simple. You have to know what bandwidth the SNR is being measured in to be able to compare. An interesting point. I've no figure for when I tried, must get it going again. The SNR however you measure it should be set by the time the signal leaves the LNB. D...

David,
Signal strength readings mean nothing.
Compare the Signal to Noise Ratio, then decide if anything is wrong.

"I've never had a CPU die on me." Quite a long time ago I had a collection of compatible CPUs and motherboards. One stopped working. I moved the CPU to a working board, it did not work. I put another CPU into the original board, it did not work. I do not know what failed first but I had the situatio...

Yes, a complicated situation. Like how far back do we erase history, if we removed Chinese-made items we'd have very little left.
The designer of the 888 etc is happy to see them produced for us to use.

Yes, I had a similar thing with a 666 but that recovered when cool, I added a fan.
It greatly reduced the drift as well as enabling continuous use.
And, possibly increasing life although these days things usually become obsolete before breaking down.

As Eelco says, no big deal but I like to think I have some little control over my computer.

My notes "If it's drivers then Device Manager looks like the left picture here https://www.sdr-radio.com/rx-666#Driver if good like the right. If the driver on Simon's link is no good try the one that worked for me found:- http://withrobot.com/en/technical-data/?ckattempt=1&mod=document&uid=20 downl...

I agree with everything you say:-)

Hummm, Looking at this thread I see a very busy person trying to avoid being even busier by asking for detailed information. Simon is generally extremely helpful. Many times I have seen a request and been surprised by how he jumps in and fulfils it. I'm not sure a coding genius can be expected to be...
