A strong signal is indicated by a high number, large amount of the meter
being occupied, and a high-pitched, rapidly beeping tone.
From the Source field you can check the signals from each of the
satellites you configured on the previous Dish Setup screen. (Satellite A:
Single; Satellite A, B: Oval 2; Satellite A, B, C: Oval 3)
When you have received the strongest signal from several transponders on each of the satellites, you have completed
the setup for digital satellite channels.
