signal strength

[kinobi]

have got a panasonic 104a HD STB and it says signal strength ranges
between 80-90% is that normal? picture looks good and have had excellent
reception using analog for the past 6-8 years i think.

also i have it set to display all pictures in 576p any pros and cons on
this?

Thats bordering on being pretty impressive, if the metering is to be
trusted.

Greetings. I setup my first htpc last night equipped with hdtv tuner and
got similar to what you describe. The signal strength was reported around
85%+ on nearly every channel change. I'm in Tingalpa so similar area and
using the standard tv antenna I was using for analogue.

I have a few questions that I hope this NG can help me with too :-)
