What does Check Switch do?

In order to correctly determine the signal strength of a particular satellite, you should check several transponders on that satellite, and the average the sum.

Good advice but 129 can be more problematic. For instance, on a calm clear day on 129 I get a meter of 28 on Tr 6 where TBS HD comes from and a 52 on TR 31 where UniversalHD comes from. I have a tree problem and when the wind blows TBS can become unwatchable while UniversalHD may only have an occasional pixelation problem.

Here's my entire list from 129:

TR Meter
1 29
2 32
3 34
4 40
5 36
6 28
7 34
8 36
9 41
10 45
11 32
12 43
13 43
16 42
17 40
18 31
19 34
21 39
22 34
23 35
27 37
30 48
31 52
32 38

Avg 37.625

In my situation a moderate wind through the trees can drop these number 50% or more.
