Hi,

I have been testing my TeviiS470 against the saa7164 and basically what 
I get is that the signal and s/n ratio is lower tuning from the same 
dish with TeviiS470.

For example tuning the same channel on each one and comparing the femon 
output:

On saa7164 AragonTv from Astra works well

FE: ST STV0299 DVB-S (SAT)
status 1f | signal e600 | snr edba | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e4c0 | snr ed84 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e73e | snr ed5a | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e607 | snr ed0c | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e608 | snr ee02 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal e607 | snr edf3 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

On TeviiS470 the same channel have some problems :

FE: Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020 (SAT)
status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00000000 | unc 00001010 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00004057 | unc 00005507 |

status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00004083 | unc 000056d1 |

FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 9088 | snr 51e0 | ber 00003fe9 | unc 000056be | 
FE_HAS_LOCK



Here femon output of a channel that works better than the last one

FE: Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020 (SAT)

Basically that's what happens on all the channels I tried, the signal 
strength and s/n ratio is lower with TeviiS470 than with saa7164.
